My friend made fun of one of my early mock-ups for this challenge saying it looked like I was making a helmet for an imperial bicycle cop so I decided to lean into it and have some fun.

My attempt at recreating the process I went through for this project. Still ironing out some kinks on how to get from A to Z with this tool but I'm looking forward to more experiments.

Another reason to love this workflow: I just shaved off about 50,000 faces by simply retopologizing my tile components and recalculating the tessellated mesh!

Refined materials and straps and added strap hardware inspired by Tie Fighters and found hardware from the time the original trilogy props were made. Also added some panel details inspired by Darth Vader and Imperial Pilot suits.

Trying a new workflow where I use the Tissue addon for Blender to apply different tile components onto a color coded base mesh. Not sure what the correct terminology for this technique is but it is a lot of fun to play around with!
