@kykel4948 Жыл бұрын

This video game me an interesting idea. I wonder how a high quality replica spandex suit of the MK85 would look over the armor. The 3D printed armor would give it shape but the spandex would still be able to stretch and move, giving that organic nano suit effect. I don't expect it would be as cool looking as the 3D printed suit but the effect it could have is a curious notion.

@quocbaonguyen5684 Жыл бұрын

Great advice again as always! Another thing you can do is when you import parts, you can just hold ctrl and click on multiple pieces. Armor smith will group them together as one piece. Then u can export it as single parts when you are done modifying them.

I've been waiting for this video! Thank you! Question for you or anyone else who has done fully 3d printed cosplays - how much bodyshopping goes into it? For example, I'm working on a Samus cosplay (my first fully 3d printed cosplay), and I want to make the arms decently tight. I got a good fit in Armorsmith, but the openings of the forearm are much more narrow than the rest of the forearm. I'm planning on printing it, and bodyshopping the openings to widen them. Maybe also thinking of cutting the forearm in half length-wise and attaching it around my arm with some velcro or magnets.

Foot shape (length/bridge) is determined by our walking gait, and can change due to the length of stride. If you're repeatedly wearing something that causes your walking posture to alter, you might want to factor that into any future builds.
