Some images of Zero:




It would most likely have to hinge at the top, and I'll worry about the electronics later (more my area of expertise). I'd need some advice for what material to print it out of. Ideally the front would be at least somewhat possible to see through.

I can provide head measurements, too. I'd like this thing to be as snug as possible.
Please send estimates and any related work from your portfolio. I'd love to get working on this as soon as possible.

P.S> I have an access to a printer at the office that is limited in size, but maybe cheaper then online printing services.]]> ComesToLife 2012-11-18T11:40:00-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=57041&th=11583#msg_57041
$2000 or thereabouts.

I recently did a skull mask for a client. I told him repeatedly that it would be costly to print, and yet somehow, he still managed to be shocked at Shapeways and other's quotes.

If you're okay with the printing cost, I can model this for you in about 3 days in Zbrush.

Output file will be .STL.

Price varies depending on the level of detail you need, but overall, I can offer you a very reasonable price.

My designer warned me up front of the cost - I'm cool with it.
I might do the large front piece in a lens material - significantly reducing the cost.

I might convert to a pepakura file and do the whole thing in paper/fiberglass.

I might finally grow a sack and buy a printer - print it myself. This might cost as much, but at least I'll have a printer when I'm done...

Thanks again for the feedback, I'll let you guys know what I find (or post pictures) when it's done.]]> mightysox 2012-11-20T03:59:40-00:00
