Iron Man Mark X-1 (Custom Design) WIP (Maya Progress images 1/9!)

looking forward to watching the progress!

lets see the 2d designs!!

I'm planning on taking some new images of the Arc, minus the lights because they are so horrible, as well as scanning in my drawings by this weekend. They should be up by Saturday for all to see!

Hit me up if you need an unfolder I've done a lot of iron man unfolds

Would that be an unfold in Pepakura, or Maya? I can do the unfold in Maya, but I haven't anything in Pepakura yet and I only have the freeware version right now.

I think as far as Pepakura goes you have to have the licensed version to import 3D models into it. but i could be wrong

Hmmm.. that would be good to check on. Thanks! I'll do an export of my helmet and see if it will load into Pepakura. Otherwise I may have to spend the... I think it's $40.

Well, here are the 2D designs and the Arc that I have thus far. I'll be updating more soon as I progress with the 3D model.

wow, that's a cool concept design for iron man cant wait to see more.

Here is an update on the Maya 7 model of the armor that I'll be using for the Pepakura.

So, I've been working on designing the undercarriage for the suit. One of the things that I'm trying to avoid with this suit is what I call the "sculpted look", where creases are part of the whole piece, and parts are one whole piece when they are supposed to be multiple parts. My hope with the undercarriage, which is by no means a complex piece like in the movies, is that it'll be a good base layer to attach the rest of the armor to, as well as providing all the needed compartments for batteries, and space for wiring for the electric parts, such as the motorized mask, glowing arc, and repulsors. I'm about 1/3 done with the maya model. I'm hoping to have the model done by this weekend so I can start to mess around with the pepakura program and figure out how to get it set up for printing. I shouldn't need to make any kinds of adjustment to size, since I'm modeling it to scale in the computer. I'm 5 foot 9, (same as Robert Downey Jr.) so I'm making the model 5 foot 10, to allow for the lift of the boots that'll be wearing. Anyway, I should hopefully have some new images to show by the end of the weekend!

hey there davethehamster, I've been stopping in here and there and came across your thread..... And I like what I'm seeing, something new..... can't wait to see more....

Thank you! I've been working on this more through the week, so I'll probably be posting some new images this weekend!

So, been doing some more work on the Maya model. I did some resizing on the chest piece, a total redesign of the back and the flight stabalizers, modeled the waist armor, and modeled the shoulder armor. I'll be adding some more images this week. I next plan on doing the arms and the undercarriage for the back.

I've spent a good chunk of time working on the model this past weekend. Sorry I didn't post any new pictures. I'm having a hard time staying connected to the internet at home. Anyway, I finished the arms and did some resizing to make it all fit together better. My next portion will be the hands, or as much of the hands as I will be doing with Pep, and tackling the codpiece and legs. The legs will provide a much greater degree of difficulty as I try to make it so I'll be able to move, yet still remain covered. With luck, I'll be able to post new images this week.

This looks AWESOME!! I can't wait to see it 3D!

Thanks! I should have more of the images up soon! I'm going to try to upload some tonight.

This is Going to be really cool
I can't wait to see pixo

The model looks awesome. really looking forward to seeing this come to life!!!

Wow! I can't wait to see this!!

Thanks! I'll be tackling more of it this weekend, so hopefully I'll have more to show soon. And as soon as the model is done, I'm going to start work on the Pep helmet!

Very nice work!

Thanks! I'll be posting more as the project continues.
