Iron Man 3 suit reference idea

[FatMan]

fantastic work

could be useful for some fun 3d prints

no because 3d prints require very high detailed models other wise you're going to end up with blocky parts.

I just thought of something (not sure if its been covered already): For people (me included ) who want to model some of these suits, perhaps you could use just these low poly, textured 3d models to use as an ortho modeling base to remodel an actual higher poly pep file Sort of like this (using the heartbreaker as an example)

You could pretty much do this with the other suit files and modelers could use them as a modeling base

this is like christmas

this is probably a stupid question but how do you open obj files? If theres a common program could someone give a link please?

 

[bfb2bfb2]

JWMines, try http://www.blender.org/
and to open obj files ? View topic - How can you open a OBJ file in blender?

You can open it with pepakura designer or blender.

Now this is stupid(er) question, how do I assign the material in blender?

 

[JWMines]

thanks man

 

[xevanx]

I might try to remodel them if I have time.

Blender 2.6 Tutorial 12 - UV Mapping (Image Textures) - YouTube

I used this for blender

no because 3d prints require very high detailed models other wise you're going to end up with blocky parts.

that completely depends on the scale you're talking about, i'm certainly not talking 1:1 scale here.
but regardless, they provide a fantastic base to work from.

 

[IMIM2]

Thanks Jackie, for some reason, my browser said time out when I tried to access blender.org.
I knew there is one tutorial there.

I used pepakura designer to do the 3D then screen capture it.
Crude but effective

This is good guidance only to get general shape of the suit.
The details will be added freehand.
Especially Mk5.
However for pepakura action figure this is good.


Igor and striker for next please........
