Oh, very important note when it comes to scaling this armour to your size. But they certainly put you on the road for an awesome costume. There are differences if you know what to look for, and I had to modify the design to fit me properly. I think I saw a snippet of conversation somewhere suggesting these were modeled from an Alien video game. Things like textures/shaders are unnecessary unless you're using a ZCorp printer that can printer colour, but in this case I wasn't going to be doing this.Note I have found these designs aren’t quite screen accurate, especially the knee pad. makes it easier to paint or modify in post). Also think about if you want it in lots of pieces for any reason (e.g. You also need to take a look at the specification for the material you're intending on printing in (there's lots of options out there) to ensure you're not making anything smaller than the material allows, have minimum wall thickness etc. You need to ensure the model is 'watertight' and has no 'non-manifold' edges. When creating the 3D model for 3D printing, there's a few rules you need to follow that you don't necessarily need to follow if the model is staying in a digital form (e.g. I gathered lots of reference images, booted up the game on the console (so I could try and see some first hand source material) and began making the actual model in my choice of 3D modelling packages Modo. Once you've read a little on 3D printing, the first starting point is pretty obvious. A miniature USB powered Dead Space rig helmet. Everything from there then fell into place and I came up with this idea. Whilst I was deciding on what to model and render, I was shown the Shapeways website and discovered the world of 3D printing. So I decided to try and put some of my years of self-taught 3D modelling skills to use and make him something for his birthday (I figured a render of something from Dead Space that could then be printed out as a poster).

Cut off their limbs, and having a decent rig for protection.Ī friend of mine who has who happens to a pretty big Dead Space Fan had a big birthday coming up. Any self respecting Dead Space fan should know 2 of the main key points to surviving a necromorph outbreak.
