Model the Ironman Helmet
by Bracer Jack, Singapore Web: www.bracercom.com


Same goes for the basic back portion of the helmet.

In retrospect I guess I could have started out the back with a sphere but in this case it started life from a single rectangular plane like the rest of the helmet...oh my god the time I must have wasted tweaking those vertices to look like this when I could have just use a sphere and refine from there instead...



With the basic layout of the helmet complete, it is best to layout its UVs at this point, however I will not dwell into texturing as that is another topic unto itself.

Implement thickness to the back of the Helmet along with one extrusion.

The original Ironman Helmet concept was for this to be a two piece plate so that one can slide up inside another; I am not going to implement this as I do not see how the geometry can actually do that.



Added one more line to enhance the jaw area.



Added one more line alongside the already existing line pattern, implements overall thickness and extrude that thin area in. Cut a smaller square pattern at the corner using "insert" and then intrude and extrude the smaller polygon to create the bolt.



Implement thickness, tighten the edges, extrude the bolts completes the forehead of the helmet.
