And this is how they look in the teeth and chin vent.

Newbie question.
Why that SW in particular? Is it better than others?
Thanks.

Not sure I understand your question.

Got help from Aleksandar Stojanov to merge the new mesh into the grill mesh box I originally made, so now they are as good as I can make them.

Why do you prefer Cinema 4D?
Thx.

Because that was the one I was able to get help with learning how to use.

Anyone know if there are D-rings publicly available that is in size with a 1:6 scale lightsaber, or does it have to be custom made?

Thickness - 0.5mm
Hight - 3.904mm
Width - 5.364mm

Thanks. I tried searching that site before and never really found anything... so appreciate the link.

In case anyone's interested in seeing what I need to do to clean up the geometry.

The teeth gaps that still looks messy (to the left) has the whole inner edge separated, so it registers as unconnected. The issue comes from when I cut out that grill box shape on the inside of the face mask. I had missed a setting, so it didn't fuse the cut into the model, but kept the new shape as a separate piece.

Thankfully the other facemask's didn't have this issue.

And since I have to mess with every single polygon anyway... there's no reason not to simplify and clean things up. It will also remove size on the file. I couldn't use optimize or automatic tools, as that screwed up the shapes, so I'm doing things manually, fixing one polygon at a time. Which is fairly time-consuming.

Seeing the new HT ROTJ Vader just makes me long for this project's completion even more.

We are currently working out some kinks with 3D printing the pieces. Hopefully we'll have some updates soon.

I'm working on adding in dome mount's inside the domes for ESB and RotJ, so they will sit perfectly. Still considering what to do with the ANH.
