Amazing. You even got the artwork on the helmet right.

If you can find a kinect and use skanect you might end up saving quite a large chunk of cash. Those things are in pawnshops everywhere.

So if you borrow from some of the DIY daft punk helmet projects, you could get the visor to flash his emotes with LEDs. Big ol red exclamation point and what not.
Very nice sir.

Thank you!

And yeah, that is in the works! Ive been actively hunting transparent OLEDs for about a year and a half as that would be my dream situation. I havent seen anyone that has gotten one, but with the quick advancement towards AR, they will be more and more available in the near future.

A bluetooth controlled LED lit emote system is gonna be so awesome! Hopefully I can get them to the point where they are easy to recreate so I can have it as an addon package. I left room in the model for such addons when I get there.

Thanks man! That was one of the hardest parts. Winsor & Newton markers were my saving grace!

I like Model Cluster because it will store it on the device until you can email it. I found a work around if you want to use the new scanner app but don’t have service (like on an archeological dig). email the OBJ file while on airplane mode and it will save it and send it when you’re in range again.

That’s definitely a plus. I lost a couple of scans to that already. Nice to see someone accounted for it. Thanks for the heads up!

How is it that many of you don’t work for Hollywood / TV studios?

Any chance this is C02 laser safe? A bit much, but you get the prize for the best safety gear!

There’s a few builders out there making things with these. Not ideal but a start.

Wow - just Wow… (Wouldn’t it have just been easier to build a spaceship and fly around looking for some advanced civilization that used a helmet like that - then just “borrow” one??) … just wow…:alien:

This is simply stunning. Loved seeing that process because it was one I was specifically hoping to user with filling in the foamcore model that came from 123D Make, but wasn’t sure how well it would actually work. The whole thing came out fantastic!
