Celtic Predator Bio Helmet Pepakura Project

[gnrlee]

Firstly I want to say hello,
i'm new ish to the site, i've taken lots of time to look at all the great projects out there some are jaw droppingly good!

i'm predominantly a Maya 3D Modeler but out of work
i'm looking to be able to Model in 3d export and un-wrap in pepakura, resin and finnish, then make cast's possibly to sell on to make a bit of extra money but lets see how we get on first,

my 1st project Im going to attempt the Celtic Predator AVP 1994

from building a few Pepakura files I know i need to keep it as basic as possible,
this is only a days work or so,
it still needs prenty of 3D work and un-wrapping
any feedback welcomed

Looks really good! Some open edges are there around the chin though, check if you have any duplicate verticies or areas where the parts aren't joined. Otherwise, awesome!!!! :cool

Dude, that pred is like my fav-or-it!! I suggest you put the eye lense thing on the mask so it can be a bit more stable once resining and fibglass come into play.

Are you going to release it to the public?

thanks alot guys,
un-wrapping is causing a few head aches at the moment though,
it should be sturdy enough without the lenses although ive added some support beams at the back for a little extra support
but it's no hard ship jut to bond some pieces in for the lenses if need be?
yes I probably will release this publically i'm looking to gain a good reputation in Pepakura and I can't do that without your feedback!

This is sort of on topic, but does anyone happen to know if there is any other Predator masks out there as far as pepakura goes? Im trying to find something similar to the original one. If anyone happens to know of one pls PM me

On a diff note this Mask looks Kick butt and i Cant wait for it to be released. Keep up the good work!!

couple. Nintendude has several rips, but I think he lost them. If you email me at bobafett1138@gmail.com I can send them your way. They're not all unfolded though. Rundown has 1 or 2, but you have to pay like, $10 or $15 for them. Not sure.

Looks SICK! Unfolding is such an annoying process, hope it comes out good!

Looking forward to the release of this file, I'm hoping to make a good few different Pred masks for display. Looks great, are you going to model any of the other ones?

well we will see if I still have any hair left after this one's done, I mainly did this one just as a learning curve and throw myself into Pepakura at the deep end!
but we'll see!
