step 1 of 12

The fans on the headpiece we created by:
1: Creating the cylinder then cutting it in half.
2: Extruding the fans from a single face of the cylinder along a curve.
3: Mirror geometry to complete the fans.

step 2 of 12

Texturing the headpiece.

I UV mapped the headpiece by automatic mapping and then fine tuning the UV map.

step 3 of 12

I painted the headpiece in photoshop.
This was then plugged into a MR MIA Material X as the colour.

step 4 of 12

The face was created by extruding a plane along a single axis to create the basic shape.

step 5 of 12

The face was then extruded out and the geometry was mirrored to create the full face.

step 6 of 12

The faces UV map was planar mapped and then tweaked to separate the pieces.

step 7 of 12

The UV snapshot to be imported into Photoshop.

step 8 of 12

The fully painted UV map that was then plugged into a MR MIA Material X colour node.

step 9 of 12

The helmet was created by deforming and cutting a sphere. This sphere was then extruded to give it thickness.

step 10 of 12

The UV map for the helmet was an Automap and then tweaked using the UV editor.

step 11 of 12

The final painted UV snapshot. The Japanese characters were translated English using Google translate and then pasted into Photoshop.

step 12 of 12

The final scene is a box with a phong shader and 3 area lights. The holder is a extruded cylinder with a Black MIA Material with all reflectivity etc turned down.
