Also I was then reminded that all the visors on every helm variant aren't connected to the rest of the helm.
That's somewhat my fault - when I work on the file extractions I'm more concerned with actually getting the files prepped and in a state I'd call 'fit to publish'. That means that the file is at least workable, doesn't have any geometry errors, and is ready to receive textures for those who are able to use them.
just really wanting to see more of a variety of armor builds. Definitely think its because the lack of Unfolded files
I'm only halfway in agreement with you here. I'd personally argue that the issue is more with community laziness - members simply can't be bothered any more to get up and out, and process any work any more. Back in the days of Halo 3 and Halo Reach, we had a lot of talented members putting out custom-modelled assets for the community to enjoy, mainly due to the fact that game-ripped assets were few and far between. Nowadays, people
expect these assets - however, the files are quickly becoming much more complex to work with, which means that members are somewhat put-off from the idea of preparing them for Pepakura/foam use. It becomes a vicious circle - everyone wants the files, but nobody wants to process/create them.
There's also the rise in popularity that 3D printers have enjoyed - more and more members nowadays are eschewing 'traditional' build methods in favour of 3D printing, so we're seeing a lot more files that are prepared for 3D printers as opposed to traditional means.
All rambling aside, you're doing an amazing job of taking this work on yourself. I would personally recommend you perhaps take a look at some of the more popular armour types out there rather than poking at the list in alphabetic order, however.
Time for a change I guess, just really wanting to see more of a variety of armor builds. Definitely think its because the lack of Unfolded files.
