Viking Helmet No: 2 - A New Start... (Unfinished)

After nearly 5 hours...

Of madness when trying to model a Viking helmet, I'm was still trying to get the head part right. Yes I'm a perfectionist! I didn't like my first attempt at the helmet. It looked rubbish and clearly, I'm not happy with it one bit! I looks ugly and I know that I could do much better so again I've started from scratch to really look at the images I've got so that I can model this more accurately.

After a few attempts, I feel that I have the shape that I want. Hurray!


New Viking Helmet

 I love modeling objects but at the moment, I'm a little stuck on the visor part when modeling the images below...









Anyhow, after managing to get the shape I wanted, I feel that it will do since it's a Low polygon model so it's fine! The Visor section can wait until tomorrow. After this long day, at last I can go to bed knowing that I've done something that I'm happy with!

I've put a Plain Phong texture on this so that it can be seen more clearly until I've sorted all my renders out properly. 



 

I've just mailed my Mentor (Nick) about my issue with the visor part so hopefully he'll help me or give me a better idea to model this section. I'm starting to enjoy this project now. I've learnt new techniques and so  much more than I previously knew using Maya. It's good when you stumble on things. Anyhow onto the visor part tomorrow... hopefully...
