The other day I started making an exoskeleton suit similar to what's seen in Tom Cruise's upcoming movie, Edge of Tomorrow. THey are pretty bad ass and awesome to see something like that in a movie, especially since much of the suit seems to be real. So far it's looking really good I think! The chest pieces and arm mechanisms were started in Max and then imported to zbrush for detailing...the shoulder guns and leg pieces were all made in zbrush...

If they just had put another actor in it! Honestly I never know if I have to laugh or scream if I see his face.

Oblivion is awesome. The trailer gave very little away. You may think you know what will happen in the film, but you really won't unless you watch it. I won't say it's all surprises, but there are some interesting plot twists.
I'm not sure on the new one, I'll wait and see. The exosuits are definitely cool, though. Overall, I'd say Tom Cruise movies are good. Like any actor, he has hits and misses. He just needs to develop a brain to mouth filter to stop him from saying dumb things in real life. Though, he's in his 50s, so I doubt he will.
Yeah, it does. I'll wait and see, though. Sometimes, trailers suck and then the movie winds up being good. Other times, it's the opposite.
I completed the modeling of the helmet for now. Was able to find lots of pictures of the real US military helmet that they use. I might be adding more attachments to the ARC rail later to spruce it up a bit more. I plan on doing some cool polypainting like the skull paint or something similarly cool.
Excellent modeling always makes for a great thread.
The thing center front above the visor reminds me of the mounts we used for our NVGs when I was in the Army. It wouldn't surprise me if that's what they are.
Are you going for a "real" suit or a "Movie suit"?? as in, like you said, some parts are missing here and there from the cgi..
either way, I'm loving this! Detail is excellent!
For the Tom Cruise rant.. I like his movies, most are hits, and as said, he puts more effort in to it than most, but he does have a habit of stepping on his tounge!.. If I boycotted every actor/actress that I didn't like in there personal life.. there wouldn't be much for me to watch!!
as for the power armour/amp suit.. for the power armour.. they do a good job showing RDJ's face while in the Iron man suit?? why can't they do that???
So, looking excellent, keep up the good work!
I understand that you're trying to make it look used, but in the case of the lenses, I would think that those might be easily replaceable in the field, just for situations when they might get overly scratched or damaged.
Other than that, I love the corrosion bubbling under the paint, as well as the weathering and damages/scratches elsewhere.
