Helmet Generator

Helmet Generator builds photoreal helmets inside Blender, from a hammered bronze Corinthian with a horsehair crest to a riveted great helm, a WWII Stahlhelm, a carbon motorcycle full-face with a tinted visor, an NFL football helmet with its face mask, or a copper Mark V diving helmet. Pick one of 38 types modeled on the real thing, then change anything: the helmet rebuilds live as you drag a slider.

Every helmet is built like the real one. Shells have real thickness with rolled edges, rubber gaskets or leather binding. Visors are separate panes with real thickness and tint, set back behind the shell lip and turning on their hinges. Inside you find liners, foam, quilted padding and suspension webbing, and outside straps with buckles, vents with mesh, rivets, combs, lacing and decals that follow the surface.
