Description
Here we have 3 versions of the Warrior of Jupiter mask as modelled over the years.

- These 3d models were designed after a real physical mask I made from spare Lego Bionicle parts that I had melted together.

- The first 2008 version was created shortly before I started teaching myself 3d modelling in Blender using the much more simpler Anim8or.

- I then starting learning Blender as I wanted to join the Bionicle fan group Bionicle: Next Generation or B:NG. Once I got good enough I started modelling Bionicle weapons for them mainly and after 2 years I decided to attempt to re model my mask with more detail of the actual Bionicle parts I had used in the original. In 2011 I stopped working with B:NG and started learning Autodesk 3ds max.

- In 2016 after learning and improving my skills in 3ds max I got my first 3d printer and I knew exactly what I wanted to make as it was always my end goal with the original mask to make a final plastic version. However the original design didn't work out in terms of sizing and positioning for where I wanted the mouth area and eyes. So I asked a concept art friend I had met during my B:NG run to help design something that would work better. He signed a new version of the mask and I then used that and adapted it a little until the 2017 version was finally created and printed.
