[Tutorial] How to make/view/export your own Halo Spartans in Blender

[Jeffw773]

This is actually really awesome. I need to give this a try when I'm back on my PC. Been wanting to do this for a while now.

Let me know if you ever have any questions!

 

[FEELtheFISH]

is there a release for the halo infinite spartan blender files? I can't find it on your post, but when I downloaded the zip from the video description it just gives me the god-forsaken blender cube, unlike the unsc weapons pack that seem to work for me.

Ah yeah that is a common issue if you don't have Blender 3.0 and above! Otherwise it will look like the default cube

Was wondering if someone could send me a zip file with just the stuff to make the Infinite pack work with the Rakshasa core? My home wi-fi is incredibly temperamental right now so I can't download the whole Infinite pack.

EDIT: Took some patience but I managed to get it downloaded!

I have updated this post with more current weapon and armor packs made by the community!

Definitely bookmarking this, awesome contribution and will be appreciated by a lot of people i'm sure.

This is awesome. I kind of wish I knew this was an option to begin with. I’m new to all this. I do have blender so could start doing this. Where do I find that pack that you were messing with in the video?

The following video will help users inexperienced/experienced with Blender quickly build their dream Halo Infinite armor set (as well as other armor sets from the other games at the bottom of this post). This can be helpful for brainstorming cool cosplay ideas, experimenting with paint jobs and attachment placement, zooming up close anywhere you want for cosplay references, and exporting the pieces you want straight to STL (or any other format you want).

The video above has timestamps to help guide you to the spot you are wanting to find and is aimed at people who have never used Blender before so that it is as accessible to everyone as possible. The pack shown in the video will be updated over time with added improvements like posing and future armor sets.

Helpful sections for cosplay:
00:00 Introduction on how to use the file and Blender and start building your Spartan (for cosplay planning)
05:23 Coloring your spartan armor pieces (To see how certain colors look on certain parts before painting them irl)

[TUTORIAL] How to export individual armor pieces as STL (or other formats)
1: Build the armor combo you like

2: Click the model you want to export

3: File > Export > (format of your choosing)
View attachment 318343
4: Make sure you check the "Selection Only" checkbox before selecting Export
View attachment 318344

5: Now you have extracted only the model you had selected (can work on multiple at a time for action figures)

Just repeat these steps until you have all the 3d models of your armor set that you need to begin getting them prepped for 3D printing!

Also, if you are wanting to know how to pose the Spartans in the Halo Infinite pack I made a quick rundown video on that here:

I really hope this tutorial is helpful for you cosplayers out there. The 405th is amazing and I love you all!

Big thanks to Surasia who put this pack together and Average Goblin Enthusiast who created the shader.

ADDITIONAL PACKS:
These packs listed below work very similarly to the Infinite pack shown in the video and should also help with Cosplay references!

Hi, I am wondering if you guys are going to create a Halo 5 Spartan pack?

 

[Jeffw773]

Hi, I am wondering if you guys are going to create a Halo 5 Spartan pack?

Most progress on a comprehensive Halo 5 pack has been halted until better tools to rip the models comes out. Currently any h5 assets you see online require tons of fixing just to get somewhat close to in-game accuracy so there are some floating around that have been tweaked. There are tools in the works right now that are aiming to pull the game data correctly and after that is done then a Halo 5 pack will commence again

 

[Davidek28]

Thank you so much! Every pack is amazing! Do you know if there's something similar with Halo 5 spartans? Also, I can usea blender project with the Magnum SOCOM, the one from Halo odst

I made a video for trouble shooting issues with the packs!

H5 Pack was just edited to the post at the bottom Note that it was made by someone else than the other packs so it may be a bit different in how it looks / quality
