Luckily I did document the whole process in photos and videos over the entire 17 day process!YAY!įor starters, here are a handful of live video streams that I did to show off some of the various fabrication processes: In fact, I finished the build a couple of months ago, but didn't find the time to get it all down on paper. Hey all! It's been a good long time since I've updated this build thread. I'm super stoked to build out a new set of space armor! Anyone else building Destiny stuff? If anyone's interested, I live streamed most of this process on YouTube here. I'll be spending some quality time selecting, deleting, and combining faces in Maya to start getting a base for my armor templates.
That's the lion's share of work that I got done today. So I removed the unnecessary mesh faces and got down to just the flat, single plane layers of mesh that I can translate to pep. I won't exactly be using pepakura files to build out the armor, but I will most certainly use Pepakura designer to get a head start on the templates.
For example I liked the from part of one chest piece and the rear of another, so I'm going to split the meshes and combine the two. Once I picked out my favorites, I started editing the meshes a bit to prepare them for the build. Yes, I was playing virtual dress up with myself. I put all of the different types of each part (head, chest, arms, legs) into layers so I could try different combinations. With all of the files gathered, I scaled everything up to my height and dumped a bunch of 3D meshes from Destiny so that I could "try them on".
I also used Make Human to build a decent analog of my own body as a 3D mesh to "wear" the armor pieces on. Then I used this handy website to convert them all to OBJs and tossed them into Maya to play with. There's a website that has a ton of STL files from Destiny that you can nab, so I gathered a whole bunch. Today I picked which armor set pieces I want to make and started gathering references. I do love my titan, so that's what I'll be building! The majority of the build will be done with EVA foam, though the helmet will likely be a resin casting. I'm planning on working on this armor every Friday. Well, I just started a new costume build for myself and I figured I'd keep progress updated in this thread. Boy howdy it's been a while since I've posted a build on here.
