I'm currently blocking Buzz because I want to create the CGI version first (for my class) then adapt as a cosplay. Getting the really thing then adapting will be the best approach for me. But man those lens distorsions on the promo stuff is hard to guess. Here's what I have so far
As you can see the chest part match but the belt and the crunch dont. Also the shoulders dont match.

Is anyone else puzzling over the IEEE 1394/FireWire symbol next to what appears to be a 3.5mm Aux audio jack?

Dude I love you! the fact that you have a photogrammetry folder ... I can't say thank you enough. I'll be starting my modeling real soon.

And I'm off to the races. Thanks to yuan0621 I was able to create a 3d scan with all the pictures. it's not the best but it will work perfectly.
First parts I modeled went surprisingly fast, let's hope the rest goes as easy as that one. I'll work the legs first and make my way up.

I used RealityCapture as well. First time I thought it didn't work but actually there so much background noise/data that you need to zoom in to find buzz.
I'm nearly done on the calf and will move on to the knee and foot.
One weird thing tho ... I found that there's 2 different designs for the back green plate. The one I modeled is the one in all the trailers but they made a thinner one that you can see on toys and promo shots. What the hell Pixar?
These are the examples where the back green plate is thick.
And here are the examples where the back green plate is thin. I kinda prefer that one.

Following closely~!
Ive cosplayed as Buzz Lightyear for 6yrs using Space Marine armor as my skeleton base.
I want to give my side note here that the promo shots, statues, and some figures have bizarre proportions for Buzz.
Idk if anyone has noticed it like I have.
Ex: Arm thickness, hip placement, etc. I'm waiting patiently to make this armor because I wanna make sure if I get it done once, its done right! So far there's some amazing 3D models of the armor but the armor is not proportioned correctly.. its difficult to explain in words on a screen.
One thing to keep in mind though is the shoulder armor isn't separate from the bicep armor. If you watch some of the animation scenes, its connected to the bicep and rotates into the armor.

After watching the movie wednesday, you were right: there is two suit. I dont really like that second generation suit. I prefer the alpha suit.

I agree, I much prefer the alpha suit to the one closer to the toy.

Waiting for the scan of this! The two pages are all I want right now.
Love to see those scans too!

So are you still scanning them or no?

Are you talking about the icon in the book or the 3d scan from the pictures of the statue?
