So much detail! I love them, they look super accurate. I hope to be this good at modeling someday.

This is a really great take on the Recon Helmet, but I think the visor should be set a little deeper.

Lol it is low poly. The normal map is really high res tho XD.

what's the poly count? like 6000 tris? if it's higher than that I don't believe it's high poly for a helmet.

Holy shit!!! You are fantastic!!! I'm barely learning to use 3ds Max right now. I suck at it. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks man! Ah When I started i sucked a lot. You learn mainly by reading online forums and keeping at it. That's the best way to get good I think. Passion will get you there

Great! Thx. I'll try my heart out to get this good. Did it take a couple a years for you to get this good? Or were the forums that good? Lol XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol it'll take a few years of dedication, but if you put your mind to it you'll get VERY good. The amount of time and effort you put into is directly proportional to the work you'll put out.

Awesome! Thx. I'll get right to it. I've seen your other works, and they're awesome too!

I gotta see some wireframes of this guy, I can't quite believe this is the low poly...

Hey dude it's not VERY low poly. In this image it's 3720 tris XD.

I got a lot of feedback that that was way too high poly so I dampened it a lot!
Now it's 1810 tris so I think that's a bit more low poly. Here's a wire of that.

BTW I like your env art

Nice man, yeah the other helmet is definitely more on the game art side of the tri count. Poly's aside though, nice modeling man. The helmet turned out pretty sweet

You sir, are 100% AWESOME!
Have you heard of the Halo armor and prop making website 405th.com? Check it out, you could make this! Bungie needs to see this! TOTALLY AWESOME JOB DUDE!

Hey dude yeah once upon a time someone directed me there XD. I'd love to make the helmet I started with pepakura but haven't had the time to finish it XD. Hopefully soon 
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Whoa this looks awesome..x3
I noticed you said the model is low poly, and if so, i'd love to be able to make this into a real helmet to wear *I got tha POWAH*
Have you ever heard of Pepakura? ^^

Hey dude! I started making this into a pepakura helmet a while ago but haven't yet had the time to finish it off XD. Hopefully some day soon
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awesome!! If you feel like ever passing the project over, i'd feel totally privileged to be able to make this into a helmet for you, the model is beautiful!

wow again just amazing!!
can i ask if you only used zbrush, did you start with a basic sphere them modelled it from there, also what brush(s) did you use to get the armour to look metallic (hard and stuff), soz i'm quite new to zbrush but i'm starting to get the hang of it (fast learner lol)
thanks (:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey bro! Yes sir I did start in zbrush with a polysphere. I looked at what bungie had and just tried to copy it at first. Then I changed a few things. For this I used the clay tubes brush and flatten a lot, but if I were to do it again i'd use hpolish because this new brush is amazing. Hope that helps
