Planetside 2 Player Studio Helmet




Been busy making a helmet for SOE's Player Studio. Going to be for Planetside 2. This is the Zbrush bust that I'll boil down into an in-game asset that players will be able to purchase in-game. If people buy this item, I'll actually make some cash for my work - which is awesome! Things like the Player Studio, the Unity Store and the Second Life marketplace are great opportunities to bring in some side money while honing your skills and plying your trade.

Very cool Ronnie. Hope it gets a reaction. Pimp it socially. Twitter etc.

Thanks, Ellis. I'm shameless about this kind of stuff. I'll plug it as much as possible. Hopefully it will translate to sales.

In the interest of full disclosure, I should say I'm working off of someone else's conceptual design. Not sure who did it, but it was someone at SOE. Very cool design.

I've been on Planetside 2 for the last eight months. Funny, they announced Player Studio was going live yesterday. I didn't even think about you doing some work for it Ronnie. Very clever. I hope they pick your design and I hope they notice that you are a former SOE-er. Good luck!

If you squint on the front view you can turn it into a jug eared character from Gorillaz.
Z Brush means ultra smooth as well as knobby texture. I like that, with a texture-it-all tool and temptation to scruff it up, you went with showroom smooth.

Thanks, Tom. Hope so, too. Ellis, my plan is to do a few texture variants - clean, beat-up, camo, etc. I think that gives added value and it's not too hard to do using tools like Substance Designer.

Aha! Post the variants.

You aren't going to make that dog wear it, tho', or you?
