a new series format we are trying out in where we show you from start to finish how we make our cosplay armors.
Now we need subject matter ofcourse so it will be the Mechanic Brigitte skin from Overwatch.
all these techniques can ofcourse be applied to your own project, we just show you how to do it on this one, and you do that on yours.

I'm so happy to see Armorsmith gaining steam. I taught a class on it some months back for a packed classroom. It is an absolute gamechanger, and always improving. Long live Randy.
what was the name of the course you taught this in? I'd love to take a class that teaches this
GREAT. i have had armoresmith for ages and never learned how to use it.
Can’t wait to try out Armorsmith!
Again showing us the way of cosplay!
Armorsmith is a great program! I got it back when it was in an earlier phase of development for 10 or 15 buck. It's vastly superior for accurately resizing vs pepakura. Randy is a great guy and the community is top notch!
Thanks Christian! It's great to see so many people building amazing things with Armorsmith :D
hope episode comes out soon , really excited to see the whole process!
I'm only 4 minutes in.. You've sold me. I'd never even heard of this program until 2 days ago. GOSH! Where have I been?! I shall be getting it immediately!
Fantastic tutorial! I have Armorsmith Designer now because of it. I do a lot of armor building so this will come in handy. Thanks
Oh daaaang! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks for this, I've had Armorsmith for a while, but never really worked out how to use it. You've just inspired me to find more pdo files! Cheers.
you're welcome dude :D
Just what I needed! Thanks so much dude; absolutely great series!
Just discovered Armorsmith from this video wow I need this now this is a game changer!! Randy you’re a genius!! Also subscribed to Wayne’s Workshop!!
A general how to use guide would be awesome. Def would like an updated video.
I've been on the fence about this and your great explanation quelled any concerns I had about this program. I bought it and got my avatar all set up. Got a few armor pieces on him also! Loving it so far. It's a game changer. Thanks! BTW it's $30 now. Get it ASAP before the price goes up.
Awesome dude
This is awesome! I'm working on shieldmaiden Brigitte so this is doubly great to watch. I'm interested to see how you import the armor and navigating the cloth aspects compared to the armour items.
Nice bro!
Okay I heard about armor smith a few months ago but was skeptical. Glad to see it's gaining steam as someone else said. I'm in the middle of building a (custom) Reinhardt skin and the artist has only given me one reference/pose - so pulling from the game doesn't really help. I'm wondering how I can model the backs of thighs/arms and other things I can't see?
Hey man this is great! Saw your comment in the FB discussion page! Do you make any 3D custom armors in blender? You're a LEGEND man. You're saving me so much time! I was doing so much trial and error! I'm eagerly waiting your next video my friend!
Ben Chang I don't really use blender to model. I tend to use fusion360
DUUDE! YOU ROCK, THANKS. MUCHAS GRACIAS!
Geweldig filpie maat helpt veel
Hey Wayne, I have been going at this off and on, it took me a long time to extract the models, however I did it without any help. I Have been very keen on trying my hand at everything before asking for help. So... I'm having trouble with my data mined models. Mine have these strange polygon edges on rounded shapes creating awkward pieces. Do you have any thoughts?
Thank you for sharing I've found armor difficult to get my size only through trial and error. Love this Video thank you for sharing
You're welcome, glad it helped 😁
i even found out more features ever since making this video and armorsmith has gone through changes itself, i really should make a updated video
@@WaynesWorkshop that would be worth watching I am going to purchase the product soon
Can you please do a video on how to do the measurements? What point on the body to what point and input that value in Armorsmith. I bought it back in the beginning but still haven’t gotten any detail on the measurements. I would put in my height and weight then go through each body part to make them what they should be. In the end it changes the total height and weight and I would look like a grey alien. I have yet to find any detailed video on measurements for those that need a hand.
Could you use armorsmith to do patterns to use in syntra sheets?
i think so, afteral its a flat 2d template, and you can trace it onto syntra and heat form it to bend it. wear a respirator against organic fumes if you heat it up though, it releases bad chemicals once heated
Hi Wayne! i'm curious about this armorsmith program, right now I got a model from the starcraft campaing, the marauder (not the in game model, the one you can see inside the Hyperion's armory, during the campaign) but it's a .m3 file, does this armorsmith program open it and allow me to modify it and transform it into templates too? If it does, I would gladly spend money on it, but I don't wanna buy something I wouldn't be able to use... Thank you!
.m3 files are not a standard 3d file format but rather a format that blizzard (used to?) use...
there are .m3 to .obj scripts for 3d modelling software out there for blender and 3dsMAX.
once its an obj you can import it into armorsmtih and go from there
I'm having trouble getting my files to display in pattern layout, I only have STL files. It shows the model on the left but nothing on the paper. What do I need to do?
Stls are too high poly for the program to unfold.
Stls is only supported so people can size it up to their avatar and then export it out again as stl for 3dprinting
We're will you be next Wayne because I'm thinking of building a suit like iron mans and the one u built is perfect if u could make another one of I ever see u. It will have Javas and could move by emitting sound waves like in the movie. And probably blast things. Reply if u think it's a good idea. Btw it will also have holograms. Studied from hololens
do you have to scale it down or will it scale to your avatar when you attach it
Scaling the avatar is seperate from the models and vice versa
Good day, I was wondering, if I found a 2d picture of a set of armour. Could I upload that picture to the program and then put it onto my avatar? Even if I can do it in parts.
Unsure, this video is pretty outdated by now, join the armorsmith Facebook group, plenty of members there and the creator, you can find the answer there for sure
Still have that video of how to extract game models? I can't seem to find it on your channel.
I unlisted them as they are outdated now and people don't seem to read that they are outdated and then proceed to fill my inbox with "these links are dead, this isn't working, please explain", sorry but it's offline for the time being.
I need help. Where do i get the files to make gipsy danger so i can enter it into Armorsmith. It is for my 10 year old son. Thanks
Anyone have any idea how to extract Lady Sylvanas and Alexstrasza Game models...? I'd really love the help T-T
Would this work for 3d print scaling?
it does, the program supports importing and exporting after scaling to .stl format
How often are your episodes going to be
Nathaniel Smith weekly or biweekly depending on how far the build is
man, i gotta wait a couple of years now...
My STL doesn't appear when I try to attach it.
It can sometimes be really tiny, try attaching it to a small body part or post your question with pic/vid to the armorsmith FB group, alot of people there collectively to help out
Hmm.. just bought it, but boy did it light up my A/V when I tried to install it....
does this program still work? Im seeing a lot of negative reviews lately on their website
yeah, i updated recently for a friends project, seems gumroad is indeed pushing the latest negative reviews without a way to see "all reviews" sorta creates a missalligned view of it all.
It’s so fucking aggravating that this doesn’t run on a Mac. And I STILL haven’t found a single working, good pepakura type website that works for a Mac.
Sorry to hear, unsure if armorsmith will ever be on Mac
Kita mau beli harga berap
Hey, thanks for the upload because I'm doing videos myself for cosplay and may you and your followers could find them usefull as well ⚡
Any 2b2t players watching?
bought it today...Doesn't work on Windows 10...very dissapointed.
What's the error you're running into? It's likely either the DirectX installer or the visual c++ runtime installer.
Email me at TheArmoredGarage@gmail.com and I can help you troubleshoot it.
I run it on win 10 just fine, it's indeed related probably to the direct x or c++
Wayne's Workshop wasn't anything of that...all fixed, firewall was the problem. Blocking the app totally. didn't even start.sorry!
All good man, good luck with the software, I'm covering more of it as the build progresses
