sir_AXE workshop (IVARA, NIDUS) WIP

[warren685]

On a side note when the mouth open will you add anything in  the revealed face like energy marks? I really dig the look of this helmet. I hope it gets in Warframe!

one more thing , is Nidus head animated with skeletal animation ? (additive on top of his other animations) or is it a blend shape opacity slider ?

We do the animation for you, so you don't need to be concerned about that aspect. :) 

[Lerhea]

can you post an image of helmet opened? i think it's better leave the central horn intact and the upper horn can come out in a form to fit with it. But this is only my suggestion. I think your nidus helmet is very beatiful anyway ^^

[sir_AXE]

thx )

Found some time to finish it finally )) Added the third color inside as well.

Uploaded it to steam , not sure if I did it correctly tho

Nice job on Nidus Helmet.But one thing,horn on his head would have been better if it is thinner as a blade rather than a horn because it creates the wrong image 

[warren685]

So did you plan out what's the color palette is going to be like for color customization. Also would you provide examples?

yeah I added few images with color variation , RGB parts can be changed and the white base

[Valiant]

As odd as the image is of the spike... I do like the skin animation.

[sir_AXE]

had fun with Oculus Medium , figured I'd make another , more organic one xD

DO IT!

[Valiant]

The more Nidus helmets the better.

We could likely do with a skin by someone at one point though.

I might try to make a full set , first head was good practice :D

So much easier to animate in zbrush 4R8 having actual gizmo and pivot point :D

I think I'l add something coming from the cracks of the head as well

I suggest you to be very careful with parts that extends to the neck and require extra rigging. Because no guarantee they will actually rig it. My hydroid helmet has small mesh that require small rigging, but they left it just like that and it clips badly whenever the head turns.

This one! Take all my plats!

[warren685]

so the Nidus Helmet with the teeth, what name will you give it also is this design final, like no improvement or changes?

yeah its done http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=949103294 

Added some organic stuff inside , so like the hard outside shell makes sense , I don't think adding more details will improve anything and just will be hard to read from distance

Amazing! I'll buy this helmet for any price!

[warren685]

ah ok, I was going to suggest you to put a smaller set of teeth behind the shell tomake it like the xeno

[[DE]Syncrasis]

Just would like to follow up to your question about rigging here: We don't use blendshapes for our animation, just standard bone/joint animation. 

[(PSN)DarXenon]

The Nidus head is really REALLY good keep it that way if you feel it is ok as it is, or make some changes it depends on you, personally i think it's great the way it is

I'd like to offer some critique (but please don't take this as criticism, these look fantastic) I think the back of the neck looks a little too thick, and personally, I think the spikes (blades?) on the back of the head could do with a pivot in the animation (maybe even reversed?).

 

I really like what you have here, I hope you're able to update soon, your work is amazing.

[warren685]

hope your nidus helmet makes it in next round!

Mm no, you need to add the texture to the outside of the head.The smoothness completely clashes with the rest of body.
