Question: How do you get the OBJs into (and out of) Sketchup? I downloaded it to try it out, but the fact that I needed to dig through the internet to find a plugin that may or may not have worked led me to throwing in the towel. I'll probably just go back to Maya, however complicated it may be...

Where exactly are you talking about? The front neck/chest detail here? Or the back if the neck detail here? EDIT: I think I misread your question. I see now it was two different thoughts.

This. I noticed that after I uploaded it. Annoying, yes. I'll modify my sig to be a little more clear. EDIT: Hope they're of use!

Just wanted to let you know I finished those screenshots. The links are in my signature. If you're interested, the source video is here.

Well, you can always print on the paper first. Makes for easier identification for mountain/valley folds.

Just my two cents: I agree with RobotChicken. If you're adding a detail that's basically a raised surface off another surface (especially if it's pretty flat) it's much more easily done in mat/illustration board or craft foam. You'll most certainly get a cleaner finish, and the little bevels...

Looking forward to seeing how you tackle the grooves in pep. That's usually something that's carved in post-pep. (If we're thinking of the same thing. It's hard to describe this stuff just with words.) Inspired by your progress, I've been working on some perspective sketches for the forearms...

Looking awesome! After seeing this I looked through my reference pics, and I love it.

This is something I've struggled with. It's where I hit my stopping point due to frustration with the first helmet I attempted. I have a few sets of needle files that I didn't have then, so maybe that'll help. Also, a Dremel tool with a router attachment, so maybe that'll help. But yeah, I've...

Oh, I don't have it. But as long as we're expressing interest in sharing files via PM, here I am!

I've started hitting CTRL+A, CTRL+C before hitting reply, heh.

"Worth all the trouble" is why I haven't modified more files. If it were as easy as making the modifications, that'd be one thing. But then you have to unfold the whole thing again... Most of the files are close enough that I don't worry about it much. Those things can be fixed post-pep. But I...

Wow! Awesome updates, my man. (Also love to see it when people use the shin file I modded, ha.) I wish I had the time/patience/effort to make all those changes you did, because they look amazing. And yes, on the note of releasing modded files... At the end of the day, no one (but Bungie) can...

Justin, those helmets look amazing. If I wasn't such a purist about making my own stuff, I'd be all over that classifieds thread. I'm am really, really looking forward to seeing some visor pulls from that vac former, though. What are the measurements for that helmet? I don't doubt people (me...

Hey, thanks for such a comprehensive answer. I'm in a place where I've got to order most of my supplies, as transportation is limited. The thing about ordering stuff is the description does not always match the product! Looking forward to it!
