Scout Trooper Helmet 3D Sculpt WIP

[Vekzer]

Hey all,

What started out as a little project, sculpting a Scout lid to be scaled down and printed for my Daughter.. Has turned into many hours of eyestrain and late nights striving for accuracy

I model in Fusion 360, usually within the solid/sketch environment but decided to learn within sculpt environment (bar the snout greebs which were modelled via sketches).. Probably why this is taking so long as I'm picking tricks up as I go along, but I'm loving it! Will definitely be attempting more models this way .

There's a few things to fix that I know of.. The peak needs leveling out slightly, eyebag area shape needs to be shifted/adjusted and maybe more of a curvature between the snout and jaw area..
It's getting there though


I didn't log my process early on, so I'll just start with the first render I could find..

And here's the latest..

Any questions or pointers, please do leave a message!

Cheers!

This is looking pretty impressive. Well done.

Thank you very much!

Managed to get a couple of hours on the PC last night.. Minor tweaks here and there as well as adding decals for the render

Just a quick update..

Added a comparison pic. The angle of my render is off slightly, but.. I'm happy. There's probably 4 major things I need to alter, but for the most part, it's on track!..

Got a few hours on the model tonight. Minor changes here and there ..

Mainly do these comparison shots for me .. Everything that needs altering becomes so apparent. But still, nice to see it getting closer .

Awesome. The gap between main helmet and the visor part could be a little wider. The über snug fit seems it would bind too much.

Hey, quick question. Are you part of the Pathfinders forum?

If not, please PM me.

Sorry I've not posted any progress in a little while.. Work and Family have been forefront of my time recently. Will be back to it ASAP!

- Thanks Garlic, noted

- Imperial Walker.. No I'm not bud, will PM you now

Looks really good! Id soften the edges of the “bags” under the eyes. A bit if they’ll be bucks for forming, but more so if they’re for print or render. Anyway, really nice work, I’m envious!

The two dimples on the chin vents look like they should be displaced to the right and fins to their left.
