I'm now just getting into the iron man cosplay, but what are the ways I can make the suit and the pieces to the suit also?Hey guys, I need to work something out with the model before i release it to the community. There is no bottom to the boot as I intended to mount the model to my shoe so it would be easier to walk around cons. If that isn't a problem then i can release the files. I will also have to lower the poly count for printing which will be my next step.
Not sure about doing a pep file but i have made them before so it would just come down to time.
Well Im still looking into 3d printing my pieces. Usually they have to be back filled so that no plastic is wasted. Look around the other forums, there are guides and such for 3d printing models.How can I make this helmet, 3d printing?

What do you model in? I use Solidworks for tech stuff like this and I use mudbox for organic forms.
If you're just starting out i would use EVA foam with is very easy to work with. you just need the foam, heat gun, hot glue and sharp blades.
If you're feeling like you could take on a bit more, then 3D printing is quite fun but you would need files of the armor and a printer plus lots and lots of sandpaper and time oh and bondo.

I make my base shapes in Maya and do all the detail in Zbrush 4R7.
You print out the unfolded files and trace them onto foam then cut and glue the foam.if I have unfold files for the armor how do I make the armor out of EVA foam?

How do you like 4R7? I havent tried it, was thinking about giving it a shot.
Would it be possible for you to post that HQ scan here for everyone?
