Hey Everyone,

I decided it was about time I started my own thread on here with all my progress and updates for my Mk III Iron Man files. For anyone who doesn't know me I started work last year on a set of Iron Man pep files, I made it about half way through and then had to take a break to work on my Halloween wedding.

The wedding was a big success we dressed up as Disneys Beauty and the Beast, we had many Disney nods in our wedding design and wedding party costumes as well as a large haunted house with many nods to the Disneyland haunted house.

Now that the wedding is finished I've started up work again on the Iron Man files. I'm not going to post any new files until I've finished up the abs and finished tweaking the rest of the files to work perfectly with the abs.

In the mean time I'll leave some renders of the current suits progress and leave links to the older files in the subsequent post.

No problem, it's nice to finally be done with this model. I think it's close to 2-3 years in the making lol.

Some of it has been heavily tweaked. The general shape of the chest has been overhauled to fit people better. The arms were pretty much completely rebuilt. The shoulders were heavily tweaked. The neck was really cleaned up, I rebuilt the back of the neck, the edge flow was a bit of a mess. Also everything was manipulated so that all the pieces fit together as a whole better.

Just managed to get back on since the hijacking of the site and I must say DF the work you've done on the final pack is awesome, I really love the brace work on the neck which will help me get mine to sit straight when I finally get back to working on it :D

I've read through this thread back and forth a couple times and i may just be blind, but i can't find the fingers or the shoe pep files. does anyone have them?
 
Re: DancinFools Iron Man Mark III Pep Files - Finally Completed

Search for Zabana's, his glove and boots are the best available. The calf was modeled to fit up with Zabana's boot.
 
Re: DancinFools Iron Man Mark III Pep Files - Finally Completed

Thank you SO MUCH!!! I love your build, I can't wait to get started on this.
 
Re: DancinFools Iron Man Mark III Pep Files - Finally Completed

err, would the would the robo 3867 boot work too? ive been messing with the scaling and i cant seem to get the pieces to fit together, at the pelvis specifically... im 5' 7' (173~ cm) and seriously thin... like 55 kilos (120~ pounds)... anybody got a clue how to scale it right? :p hitting a wall as i started was disheartening...
 
Re: DancinFools Iron Man Mark III Pep Files - Finally Completed

The robo3687 boot has some cool features and is a very simple build, but watch your alighnment it is easy to warp and deform if you are not careful!! I too had issues with the scaling on Robo and ultimately brought the scale up to 23 that gave a listed height of 179 mm width of 127 and depth to 388 per the pop up window where you change that. I have a
9 1/2 to size 10 American shoe size, so this fits. The scale does not seem to correlate to the actual size it comes out on my previous attempts. Understand I am a newbie and learning as well, so the mistake is probably mine. As DancinFool wrote, you can use the Zabana it is scaled at 1.o and came out perfect. It is a technical build though and patience is required, but it comes out sweet! I am almost finished with mine. If you make your lines really straight and watch close it is very self alighning and very straight...Check out my boot build!
I like too that Dancin made his build able to use Zabana boots and gloves!

Im 5'7" and its been quite interesting build. I went default for abs and cod piece and then im at a scale factor of 23.64 for the rest. Seems to be working so far. I did start the legs at the default scaling which i may encounter being too big. but im gonna go through it and see if that decreases the gap between the leg and the cod piece

What, a professional artist? Actually quite the opposite I'm a professional programmer. Pick up a few things working with artists all day though.

I would love to see it, OMG, especally a high gloss MK2 sweet!:love

Good luck with that, seriously I mean it :D I have enough skill to do the steel version but not the time or money for raw materials :(
 
Re: DancinFools Iron Man Mark III Pep Files - Finally Completed

I am curious as to how we are supposed to do this. I downloaded the files, and opened it, and there is no right or left its just cal,f thigh, shoulder bell, etc. I have searched both google and the rpf with no avail. I have heard something about mirroring, and I went into Pep designer, and found mirror part. this simply mirrors the one peice you have selected, not the whole part.. ugh..
 
Re: DancinFools Iron Man Mark III Pep Files - Finally Completed

Dancins files of parts that are sometimes single files that need to be inverted. To get the matching shoulder say, you go into Pepakura designer 3 and go to your 2d menu and select "invert pattern" this will flip the pattern so you can make your duplicate part. This goes for things like the knee dongles file the neck dongles... and parts that need opposite pairs It does not invert the 3d master image though, only the paper pep files!
Hope that helps! Pull up a file and watch closely as you invert and un-invert back to the regular pep image you will see it happen!
If you print up your files in large batches make sure you keep them together and separate to avoid co-mingling parts LOL! that would be a hot mess!:behave
 
Re: DancinFools Iron Man Mark III Pep Files - Finally Completed

Finally found Zabana's Boot and finger peps. The fingers are spot on, but the boots, I was looking for the boots in this first picture, and zabana's boots are the second.
