This guide was made for entry: Gas Mask In Contest: masks
step 1 of 8
This was the first stage, creating the breathing parts of the mask, I started with a cylinder and used different modelling tools to create the shape I wanted.
step 2 of 8
This was the same as stage 1, I simply edited cylinders, for reference I just used random images of gas masks that I saw on google, I did not use them as blue prints or direct reference just gazed at them and then went to work.
step 3 of 8
Using a number of circles/ squashed circles and loft nurbs I created the mask body and then used boole with a couple of stretched cylinders to create the eye holes.
step 4 of 8
A couple discs moved into position to act as the glass eye pieces.
step 5 of 8
A cube edited to create a box, and a plane as a background.
step 6 of 8
The glass door, made up of a edited cube for the glass plate, then a couple cubes for the hinges with a slight bevel, then a cylinder for the handle.
step 7 of 8
Added the lighting, here I have several lights, 2 inside the cube and a spot outside and an omni also.
step 8 of 8
added a sky object with a HDRI image for the global illumination. the HDRI is in the package so I dont have a specific photo or source for it.
