Hey man... not only is your modeling sharp and clean, but you're a designer as well. I love your shapes.

[@lukamivsek]

Thanks for kind words man! Btw your tech tips series was eye opening! There are still lessons to learn from it

[@valstres]

The plane changes on this guy is crazy good! Your big shapes are also really dynamic and flow together nicely, good stuff man!

[@corea234]

There is something exciting about your design. I've seen a lot of works, but your work feels new.

[@mjghp_artworks1025]

Mad respect dude. Thanks for sharing the process.

[@kidwonder2857]

This was an amazing experience... to see something so amazing come to fruition. Bravo....

[@justStevenYaffe]

Reminds me of the helmet designed by Mike Andrew Nash many years ago, but building further into a balanced style with bright color choices and a great deal of innovation.

[@rosumparat]

Just saw your gallery on Artstation. Most impressive!

[@Zeffyras]

Thank you for sharing your process! Liking and commenting after watching 20 seconds :D

[@Foontiq]

NC approves this helmet design. Liberty or death!

[@masterxeon1001]

im glad i caught you while youre under 1k subs! Next time I see you, youll have tons! Keep up the fine fine work!

[@Matthi508]

Wow this looks so cool 🔥

[@NickMunroFrost]

really awesome work mate

[@fabgmoraes]

Even watching this whole video, it is hard to believe how to achieve such a fantastic result. Sci-fi hard surface is one of the most challenging types of modeling to me. Impressive work you showed us.

[@RottenSkull]

Whats so hard about it? Just make a lot of useless cuts everywhere, make it look like everything is a vent, here and there some circles, curving shapes that end in a curvy one (or the other way around), adding some mechanical stuff that would be unpracticle in real life and there you go, you have some sci fi shit. To top it off, add electricity or some tubes that are powered. Done. For texture, just make it look like a mixture of plastic and metal. basically something that does not exist but is relatable. Thats the modeling side. For the painting part, just add colors with high contrast (if you want to make it look "spacey", or very saturated colors for a grim look, and most importantly, the paint has to have a lot of scratches and peal of on a lot of placed to give it a used and more realistic look. Also adding numbers here and there (serial numbers, user number, codes etc. everything that has a solider/prison or coding aspect). All those things come with practice and will become second hand if you also learn design. Most 3D artists have experience or knowledge in concept design or at least 2d drawing (design fundamentals, shape language, design principles etc.

[@fabgmoraes]

@@RottenSkull Hi, thank you so much for the workflow overview. This is really something I should practice more.

[@kurtdewittphoto]

Incredible job.

[@sunsetpark_fpv]

Absolutely beautiful 😎

[@bishopwhite1822]

Some good work there spaceman.

[@heckensteiner4713]

Great job! When I design a helmet in 3D, I begin and end with a 6 sided cube. It's much easier and renders super quick! 😅

you're a master at your craft.

A cross between a helmet from the mass effect with a robot face from there without a visor. Very original.)

Nice

[@tahmid8918]

this is like asmr

[@mopaysmozil]

Brilliant. I believe you should also try playing with different tones for the jaw. The blue seems a bit dominant making it look like 1 piece which its not. Just a thought.

[@howard6615]

Amazing work! I want the brushes you use, where can I buy them?

[@RDD87z]

wow nice, good piece. zbrush looks much better on those UI colors. its so sad that zbrush doesnt have a curve stroke brush that you can do this in 1 time without struggling. ---> 1:44:45 you've to try over and over to make it the way you want. and that makes you waste some time. in blender theres this curve stroke mode. and its so useful for cases like this. hope zbrush bring this tool soon. now even substance painter allows you to do bezier curve strokes on the 3d model. its awesome how clean it is in the end.

[@capnanaya4642]

the revival of mike nash

[@DobryakDobreyshiy]

Fits to New Conglomerate helmet in PlanetSide 2, even with color scheme...

[@WikiZ-ml5sv]

good

[@soulextracter]

You forgot to mirror the text.. 0/10 Just kidding! This was phenomenal! It really looks expensive and heavy.

[@fjentertainment8874]

Great Job !! May I know what software you are using.......

[@FreeClient01]

Have you thought to join the Star Citizen design team? This would look great in-game Xx

[@eggZ663]

No, he probably values actually having a life too much

[@RH3D]

I noticed you brought in the ear section from elsewhere - was that a fusion/moi import by any chance?

[@lukamivsek]

yes, i modeled that part in moi3d and imported it in

[@RH3D]

@@lukamivsek nice! You've really inspired me with these videos please keep making them 🙏

[@andrej2868]

@@lukamivsek It'd be really cool to see that process in moi3d as well. Can't seem to find a good workflow to go with zbrush.

[@HonkeyKong54]

If you made this printable that would be awesome

[@mateokladaric]

I was satisfied at 1:16

[@odesamusic]

Awesome, could you do a Cyberpunk Car

[@redfalconvfx7050]

can you print it and make it usable as a moto-bike helmet after reinforcing it with some Kevlar or Carbon Fiber material

[@mke344]

do you use a mouse or a drawing pad?

[@phulchandpradhan4653]

How many Days you took for this model ? only for hi-poly ?

[@aleksdeveloper698]

Is this for rage 3 the video game?

[@sergioortiz6487]

brushes?

[@ptootie5657]

wait how the actual hell did you work on something for 16 hrs straight or was there a cut?
