Model This: helmet
-
From a request in the Newbie forum.
Looks like an easy challenge to start the year off with.
Y'all know how it works, using SU only, show WIP and lines so we can see your process, explain all tools and plugins used.
Have fun.

I see your challenge, I will do this easily.
[give me a minute to model first]
-
Im interested to see how people will do the interior padding.

WHAT? I'm not even trying, I suck at making rounded shapes.
Looking forward seeing your model. -

Looking forward seeing your model.they are a pain at first but after a bit of practice you learn rounded shaped are not all that bad. It helps to be able to subdivide there is a plugin here, or you can export to another 3D app, makes things a lot smoother!

Oh yeah I know I was just talking generally to create rounded shapes, can still use the plugins tho.

Ok here's mine...
I used Tig's EEbyR Plugin to make the Helmet in 2 sections
Not too happy with Visor but will do it again once the Pro's weigh in with some advice and tips

That was over 3 hours ago.... not that easy?
I got distracted, man I knew I shouldn't had watch youtube while modeling!
Then I forgot what I was doing and went to play a few games, now I'm back here wasting time explaining what took so long. AND I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED!
-
Great job rclub24. I did my manually without any plugins but effect was very worst.
I tried in your way but I have problem with one place
Could you write or show how you did selected part of helm.Best Regards

I finished mines, it was a bit harder than I thought. I had to use follow me and intersect with model a lot here, the visor I had to use the move tool and the finishing touches with the scale tool. No plugins (except weld for ease).
This is not really beginner stuff, and the plan is not accurate either.
I included the file.

compared to the other challenges it is pretty easy! Nobody has put the vents or chin straps in yet!

The whole point is to make the model look like the plan...of course the plan is accurate

This is my second shot with helmet. I used only FFD plugin to correct arc. This one is better:
Here is a movie how to create this helm with EEbyR Plugin.

Alright I finally finished this helmet, I used vector push-pull, tube along path, projections, weld and the standard tools.
EDIT = here's the skp file..

sds,jpp,tos

Show me please with a side
It feels that the visor is very long from this angle -
nice one ely
anyways here's another try, only the skin without inner padding etc. made using sds and jpp. In the image there are 3 versions. The first is the proxy, the second is one iteration, and the third two iterations.
