Hi Blackpenny - thanks for the compliment on the helmet If you have managed to get as far as the horns, then you are very close to home. Look forward to seeing your result

I did one totally by the book, nothing imaginative, not worth showing. Then I played:

My bad

I thought I was posting in the tut I did for the spanner/ wrench. (Multiple pages open and chatting on MSN the same time ...)
This will be around for a while

Excellent interpretations so far.

@ Pixey ... the white globe is because ... the layer you have your starting texture on, should be transparent below the metal texture

@ blackpenny ... very, very nice touch with the background.
Great outside the box thinking with the centre band.

I wrote this tut so's the power of Shape3D would be easy(er) to understand and how to use different textures and distorts to make an image/ object.

Looks like it was all worth it.

blackpenny - WOW! What a great interpretation of the tute!

I learned a lot with this tutorial. Besides Shape3D, it is so neat how the mirror over line and tube oblique work.

I looked at pictures of helmets for inspiration, and a lot had the centre band. It took a while to figure out how to do it, and I couldn't explain it now to save my life. I remembered the movie, and was thinking about using a picture from it. This one came up while I was searching.

In my quest, I also learned that the vikings did not wear horned helmets. Those are from the Bronze Age, way before the Viking Age, but same part of the world. And they still look darn cool.

Moving on to my next tutorial - barbieq's jewel.

@Blackpenny - wow, what an awesome result on your helmet. You go to top of the class

@Welsy - thanks for pointing out about the transparency - I should have known that

I tried from a different angle, thanks welsh for the tut.

Excellent Sargon'. Truly great

Now I want a tut for that chain-link effect
