Starting my first Fett 3D Model

[FoxHound1984]

Hi guys,

I've been 3D modeling for quite some time and have modeled many of my favorite film characters. But for some reason I've never gotten around to modeling everyone's favorite bounty hunter. This morning I finally decided to take the plunge, so I started working on his helmet. Ultimately I am aiming for a more ROTJ type of look. More soon!

Nice start! Check out the gallery for detail shots of the helmet...

Very nice. Zbrush?

Thanks and will do! Proportions are hard to get right, but there is a ton of reference here. Very cool to be part of this community.

@ Seeker: Sorry, did not see your message Thanks! So far it's all been modeled in 3ds Max. Will take it into Zbrush for surface detail, paint and all of the cloth bits

Looking good so far. If you're striving for accuracy, I'd suggest deciding which version you're making. As you're likely aware, there are all sorts of differences between ESB, RoTJ and the special edition Fetts.
I'd pick one rather just leaning in that direction and then you can source the appropriate reference material and build from there.

Thanks Bounty, definitely veering to the ROTJ helmet. Started to add really basic color to make sure the proportions are as close as I can get them (I find that adding color helps).

That being said, as of right now the colors and markings are way off right now (as is the surface texture), but now I have a general idea of where to look to make sure the proportions of the helmet are on par before moving on to details Definitely need to tweak the ears and the overall visor slope and dimensions. Getting closer slowly but steadily

No real color/paint changes, just made some proportional changes in accordance to/with the gallery images of the RotJ helmet More progress coming this weekend!

Nice job dude! What is your camera focal length? Haven't messed with 3ds for a long time but in c4d I know it has a lot to do with the output. Cheers.

Thanks man! My focal length is set to mimic a 35mm camera
