As humans, we represent life and death.

ok so I am doing a modeling project for my 3D art class and I was hoping to do the master chief... but I can't find any blueprints whatsoever, so I was wondering if anyone else had some?
To make a 3D model I need a top, bottom, left, right, front and back view of the chief in the same stance (preferably in the starting "doll" stance, arms and legs spread wide, facing fully forward).
I also am a bit worried that the reason there's nothing out there because bungie doesnt want fake Chiefs to be modeled and copywrites to be violated... I am not intending to claim it as my own and have no intention of selling any version of the model I would create... I just need something to model for my final project that I am passionate about and would be very interested in modeling... that happens to be halo
=)

Thank you,
Brian

Bungie listens to its fans! ^.^ | Ninja .II./ You

Try HBO, there are alot of avid fans and I've seen a few models on there...

Use the Search on their site and have a browse. Good luck on your project! :]

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,

Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

You won't violate any copyright infringments, so long as you:

1.) Reference your work to your samples if you exibit what you made in any way.

2.) Don't market your creation for any kind of payment...

Those are the two biggest infringments that you've got to watch out for, but I'm sure you'll be fine...

I work here: Sound Devices, LLC. We make bad-ass field audio gear, and you think that's awesome. My messy desk (With work-related items on the computer screen).

One does not simply grenade jump into Mordor...

And be sure to let us know if you get the project done. I, for one, would like to see it. :)

Well that's a first! I'm going to be using 3ds max 9 so it should look pretty spiffy.
I've been sifting through the HBO site and I cant find what I need, which is static views of the chief... they're all either screenshots or dont have enough views.
I tried to send a letter to the webmaster and see if i could get something like what I need but I sent it on monday and havent had a response

Well, one of the marks of a good 3D modeler (or even a trait you should learn) is that you can take 2D images and realize them in full 3D detail.

Secondly, there are so many pictures of Master Chief, you shouldn't really have a problem getting all angles. I'm trying to find this one Quicktime that shows a 360 degree view of the chief (able to be rotated) but it seems as though it's no longer on the website. :\ If I find it, I'll let you know.

I suggest you look around here, there's plenty of renders of Spartans.

Good luck. ;) The Spartan armor is a difficult one to model.

Oh I should have mentioned that yeah.... I actually want 2d pictures of what I need
I can attempt to do it without straightforward views but doing that would make it 10 times harder than it would be with front, back left and top 2d views.

Maybe this will help?

*whiney voice*
I knoooooooow, but I need like, a straightforward angle like... this these except obviously, for the chief.
you have to remember that I posted here to make things easier, I can model it but I dont have all that long to mess with proportions and get that kind of stuff done, I have until this summer (earlier than that even) and with orthographic views like that gundam, I can do it well within time and focus on texturing and rendering it rather than actually modeling it.
I might have to actually do it anyway... I just wanted to explain to you what I was trying to accomplish by posting in the forums

oh, I just saw your link, yeah they help... a lot, but like the gundam, details would be a huge help, but thank you a ton for those two views.

You could also try the renders in the Halo: Combat Evolved page. I think there are some static things things there (perhaps I'm thinking of Halo 2 though...)

You say tomato; I say potato.

This .PDF file should help.
