You can actually just go out and buy one, I did some pretty extensive research on a bunch of this stuff recently

The buck is placed on a vacuum forming machine and a plastic sheet is heated, then sucked down over top. In the case of a stamp, you'd create a negative of the visor, then press that into a heated sheet of plastic to create the grooves. Regarding window tint, having installed the visor either...

There's a vacuum forming buck included in the files. Alternatively, you can make a stamp to create the grooves before bending the visor to fit the helmet. Typically, people will mist their visors with paint although there are chemical chroming processes (although they're expensive) If you're...

Two for one! In an attempt to find the fuel time of a Covenant vessel, the final piece of the puzzle I need to know is how much fuel they carry. The Raid on Verge disrupted the Covenant supply line, as such their decisions would have been made with this in mind.... Crucial information to know...

Fortunately its been covered pretty well already. As best as I can tell its sculpted after the Reach model

I suppose the wiki about covered it then... I was hoping there was some extra information out there. Based on the existing images of Halcyons in lore, the PoA appears the most modified while others fall somewhere in-between it, and the CE version.... The best I've been able to find is "Halo...

A follow up in search of more information. The Pillar of Autumn as depicted in Reach was the Halcyon "refit", meanwhile the community seems to consider the CE design an "unaltered Halcyon". So what's the difference between the refit the PoA received versus the other Halcyons of the era? (The...

For printing, it's a matter of patience. A faster computer will slice the models faster. For 3d modelling, it's somewhat dependant on the programs you are planning to use. On Rhino 7, 16 gb of ram is seemingly more than windows will allow it to use. Other modeling softwares however are able to...

I feel like that falls outside the realm of making an asset printable however.... In the case of the models I create, they're completely separate from what can be found in game simply because there's only so far you can go before it becomes a limitation..... After a point, increasing the...

There are two main issues regarding game asset conversion; primarily it's an issue of misaligned triangles.... You'll have for example, a piece of rebar sticking out of a wall. They'll end up being two separate objects, not connected. The fix here is to "trim" the meshes so they create a...

The mention of Nils Thine is particularly helpful, on that, I'm trying to wrap my head around what the government hierarchy would look like for Tribute. Currently there is little information on the planet. This creativity wise is fantastic, but without concrete sources it leaves a lot to be...

One man can only do so much research into Halo lore. Perhaps the community has answers where I have come up short. For the sake of world building, I need the following answered: Immediately after the destruction of Long Night of Solace, what fleet arrived? The 3 CAS/CSO had a black and blue...

Hundreds of individuals are currently working on fan games, 405th would be a good place to make people aware of the projects community members have banded together to make happen. A forum titled "Fan Projects" where games such as Downfall, Installation01, and SPV3 can be discovered and talked...

'chaos ensues'

Not yet, but it's on the list. I've switched to modelling for Downfall though, so it'll be a little ways off
