My bro and I have been working on a full ceremonial armor set inspired by the Mycenaean world around the time of Odysseus.
This chest piece started as an image concept, then we turned the design into a printable 3D model. From there we scaled it to human size, printed it, coated it, finished it, and painted it until it looked more like something from a movie set than something that came out of a 3D printer.
One of the things I like most about this workflow is how quickly an idea can cross from an image on a screen into a real object you can actually pick up and wear. Throw in a green screen and some movie magic and it looks pretty cool.
The finished piece has a dark metallic body with gold lion details, and it is one component of a much larger armor set we are putting together.
We have already made the helmets, shield, armored belt and skirt, wrist guards, and greaves, so the full suit is getting pretty close.
Curious what you guys think of the translation from the digital model to the finished piece.
