IRONMAN
-
Hi guys,
Here is my very first work on Sketchup. It's been done about 1 year ago but until now I decided to post it. I've done it on Sketchup 6.0 and the fist version of Vray4SU so the render results weren't so good.
This is 3d model for the helmet of the Ironman's suit. I used the ruby named "SoapSkin Bubble" for 80% of the progress, and I've got to say this one and the "Subdivided&Smooth" ruby are best rubies for Sketchup I've ever used.
Now let's see how it's done.
A blueprint, of course. I've found this one on the Internet. It wasnt the best but enough for me.
Ah, the wireframe. You can notice that I divided the model into many parts and used Soapskin for each of them to get the result.
Here are the rendered pictures. I know I sucked, the final render looks like plastic more than metal
You can also check out this video, I think it would be cooler when combined with music. Enjoy!

DONE! That's all I have to show.
So please comment and let me know what you guys think about this.
Thanks you guys so much!(PS: sorry if my English was awful. I'm a Vietnamese...)

That's really good! Like the step by step sequence. Thanks for posting
-
I agree with Rich. Even your sequence images are top notch. How to do that with such quality would be an education for me.
-
amazing !
-
Great work.

Really great work!
It looks like you made the most common mistake by beginners with SketchUp who eventually render their scenes.
You need to increase the segments used for circles to 48 (minimum) because the segmented circles are obvious in renderings. SU default is 12 segments per arc/circle. -
Thanks you guys, what you said really keeps me going

As I said, this is my very first work on Sketchup, and by that time, I didnt know that the segments of the arcs could be changed. But luckily, only the ears take this mistake
Btw, let me show you guys some of my new stuffs in Sketchup
The Lamborghini Reventon
Volkswagen Beetle

Great work indeed! Iron man rocks!

Excellent VW also!
-
This is cool. I wish i could do this even not knowing about the circle setting. Excellent work!
Can you show us how you made just one piece? -
Personally I would like to see the wires and possibly a bit of "how to" on that VW Beetle.

Yep, here you go
the first model I used Subdivided%Smooth so the technique wasnt completed, there were still some problems. But the result was quite satisfied.
-
Thanks for that.
-
Superb work. The beetle is particularly fantastic. I have the pains of jealousy running through my veins
-
Love the helmet! I did one a while back. I had some good references for blueprints if I did them up are you interested? My model was not as clean as yours I only used a basic shape and then spent Christmas Holidays painting it with my tablet in Photoshop.

I lost the model in a western digital hard drive failure however last month I tore up the old case and removed the drive and am going to attempt to fix it by putting it in the freezer for 24 hours apparently that gives you 10 mins of up time?
-
You make it sound easy, but I still don't understand what happens between having the blueprints placed and then the model almost done in the next step 0_0
I'm amazed and puzzled. Really, how do you do that?
Let's say in the helmet, that looks easier than the beetle.
You start outlining the side view and extrude it?
And then... what? outline the front view and... hmmm there's where I'm lostI forgot to say
GORGEOUS! -

Actually the Beetle is much easier than the Helmet because it has been done after I got some "technique" about 3D modeling. Such a shame that I've lost the original file in a HDD failure, just like liam887. I couldnt blame the computer because it had been serving for over 5 year, too much for a pentium 4@2.0ghz pc. Even I had uploaded a backup on the internet, the file was corrupted too. You guys can have a look at this link: http://www.mediafire.com/?zqnzog0ggyd If anyone can recover this file for me, I'll be very appreciated!!!And if you guys dont mind, I can do a little bit "tutorial" for this so you can easily imagine how it's done. I'm sure it would be quite easy. Just wait for 1-2 days.
btw, I notice that you guys didnt respond much about the Reventon. I think it's much better than the Beetle because I took me nearly two months modeling

I would appreciate the tutorial, thanks.

Really great work, but it looks as though I missed a step or two. kind of a big jump between. . .
Step 1. . place images. ..
Step 2. . .Make model. . .

Silvershadow had a great step by step on his blackhawk model thread, I think he has a blog with more in detail images somewhere im sure you can find it on here/google.

Thank a lot for introducing this site for me! I've been searching for a full blueprint of the suit in Google but the quality was very poor. Now I have the inspiration again to make the full model of the suit with SU. It's gonna be something
