Glad the helmet is fixed. Wish I could have been more help. Ruze, mind telling me what was wrong with it and how you fixed it??

I'm not entirely sure exactly what the problem was... I wasn't able to fix it in Blender so I imported the obj in Metasequoia. The helmet scale was pretty small in that one, so I deleted the materials and enlarged the helmet by a pretty large order. That seemed to fix the problem, it opened in Pepakura just fine after that.

I'm almost thinking that the little indentation detail between the eyes (under the brow) could have been the problem, since the back of the helmet loaded fine but the faceplate wouldn't. Maybe at that scale Pepakura just can't handle details that fine?

If there were small details in a small scale, it's probably a floating point error (either in the .obj that was exported, or in Pepakura trying to build faces).

This is the basic i'm assuming, how much does it differ? Anyway thanx-we all appreciate that you are not only investing your time but also getting nothing back. Truely a selfless individual... GM

The basic and HD dont differ pretty much at all. All it is is just the basic version with the detail lines modeled into it. They both have the exact same shape and size and proportions, the only difference is the lines, which as ive said before are VERY thin. All you would have to do with the basic helmet is carve in the detail lines yourself after it has been built, which in my opinion is SO much easier than pepping ALL of those tiny little lines

Super - Jackie thanx for the quick response on that...GM

does anyone have an animation of how the helmet opens? or have we not gotten that info yet?

Interesting. I thought that might be a problem. I took the whole helmet, and scaled it up to the correct size using a 3d dummy then deleted everything but the faceplate. Then took out all the tiny details (like a foam edit) and deleted the materials. Exported it in every available format and still every time I tried to bring it into pep, it would crash!
Oh well. At least it's fixed. :)

No not yet :( but i personally am very curious as to how it opens in the first place :confused
The faceplate stretches all the way back to the ear and im pretty sure it if opens like a traditional helmet, it would run into the helmet and not go up. The only guess i have is that it might open and close how the Mk V closed in IM2. The faceplate might just separate a bit while lifting and closing and then close back up again when its done (hence those cut lines on the front of the faceplate)

very cool, guys! I can't wait to get started on this... a working suite for the premier would rock. :)

I think they are just trying to mess with us now...
