Hey guys,
First post on the forum here, I'm getting extremely frustrated with never getting the scale right of a pep project I'm trying to do.
I started out with Halo helmets but they always ended up too small to put my head in, or like a giant blob on my head.
Currently very much into destiny and wanted to make a warlock helmet.
Scaled the neck opening up enough to fit my head through, but then the width of the helmet ends up at 40cm, which seems enormous to me.
My measurements are : 26cm from bottom of chin to top of head (straight measurement, no curves), 24cm from back of head to tip of nose (also straight) and 16.5cm from ear to ear (straight as well). I know I got a big ol head.
So I scaled the model in a way that the neck opening was around 18cm wide so I could fit my head in easy:
But doing this I end up with a huge model (396mm wide instead of 300mm)
This is the original:
I also included the .pdo file in case someone wants to take a look.
What am I doing wrong here guys. I've been dying to get my hands on projects like these. I think they could really help me relax and have fun, but I'm so done with constantly getting the scales wrong.
I hope someone here can help me out!
Sincerely,
Pitje
