Pepakura Helmet Upgrade

[BloodyShadow13]

I am upgrading the current pepakura helmet and would enjoy some assistance.

Revision 1.1 is here
cut out the black part for the visor.
i apoligise for the shitload of folds under the brim

here are the renders of the bungie helmet.

here are the progress pics.

the top went out

the back work

 

[TheBlue]

So you need help rendering it in Pep form? Or what do you need?

 

[BloodyShadow13]

i would like the community to help me spot areas that need modifying.
i am looking for areas that the bump map makes look different in game.
sry should have put that in the first post.

Heres one, though it might not work:

-Try cutting out the pieces where the vents go so people don't have to cut the helmet to put in tubing.

 

[Warmonger]

Thats a good idea

 

[BloodyShadow13]

thanks ill get to work on it. do you want them gone or just "hiresed"

 

[TheBlue]

I was thinking just remove or reshape the pieces that make up that region. Oh, and if you can, make the mouth pieces way less complex. To me at least, it had to many small folds and pieces and the like...

 

[BloodyShadow13]

if anything i am going for more complex.
sorry.

 

[TheBlue]

:shock: Oh.

Ok then. Just make it so its the closest to the game model as possible.

And great work shadow!

 

[Warmonger]

i like complex it makes it lookmore sophisticated and better quality

 

[TheBlue]

The complex I meant how many pieces of paper the mouth piece consistied of. If it was one, but had alot of folds and detail, that would be fine.

Why don't you just convert that to .3ds or .obj which can be open in 3ds and converted into .3ds. And print the pep out like that, it already looks delicious if it has a skin printed on it (Ink waster though)

 

[BloodyShadow13]

because i want people to go "holy crap there's a hole there.

 

[Iceman29]

Ya gl on this it looks to be a big project lol...and btw when your done with this could you make a br?

 

[BloodyShadow13]

maybe ;-)
update.
what do you guys think i should do here?

EDIT: oh and I'm not going to go anything about the lights on the side. you want 'em, you put in leds or flashlights.

 

[Iceman29]

well, on the real helmet there is a indentation on the line, but I don't know how you could make that.

 

[BloodyShadow13]

so the black part indents?
i might be able to do that.

 

[TheBlue]

Sounds good Shadow.

Keep up the Good work!

 

[BloodyShadow13]

d'you figure the small white piece closest to the visor goes anywhere?
