Hello everyone...from the continuing saga of John Carter of Mars.
I'm borrowing an idea from the movie--9th ray technology--that can be manipulated into any material form. Here Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium has learned how to mold 9th ray isolates into Thern Armor. I'll make the broach on her cape into a Thern medallion (or close).
I've used the old (Blender 2.4x) Cube Wireframe Solidifier script for this one. Once the wireframe is solidified, just delete the faces and voila!
And the full figure:
And here she is on-site, protecting a Thark Hatchery. I don't usually use the Blender internal renderer anymore, but the sharp shadows actually add to the alien-world feel.
