hshelmetcreator Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I am thinking about starting a database with this template. What are your thoughts? Maybe add a few of my own reflections, other layers, etc. to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I would use the helmet template that uses all three views of the Revo Speed helmet and this template too. That would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hshelmetcreator Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 I like the Revo Speed helmet, I am just looking to use a generic type of helmet. That way, when the Revo Speed goes "out of style" I am not stuck with re doing the ENTIRE database.This one seems pretty generic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hshelmetcreator Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Here is a better Illinois. You can see the white stripe a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Love how you've nailed the gloss, chrome and matte look. Chrome looks great. What program are you using? I'm assuming you black-whited a stadium photo, gave it opacity and layered it in? Worked out great!!This would make a helmet database great. The one over at the helmet project is nice, but doesn't feature chrome or matte finishes.Good luck! With so many helmets in college football, you have quite a project on your hands.Try giving us Oregon with the yellow/chrome facemask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hshelmetcreator Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Nebraska (Big Ten)Yes sir. That's all I did. I also added a blur to the stadium layer. Thank you for the feedback!And I am using Photoshop.http://mghelmets.com also has a great database! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hshelmetcreator Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Right now, I don't believe so. Maybe in the near future. I am still perfecting the template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Should probably darken the blue for Penn State....it's too bright. But I like the template Would the database go into historical helmets too for each team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sec19Row53 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'd say your center stripe is off-center. Given the angle of the helmet, you ought to see beyond the crest of the helmet. Your view doesn't show that. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I too can't wait for the Revo Speed to go "out of style." I'm never crazy about the look of visors, but all else you got going seems to be working. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9erssteve Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I too can't wait for the Revo Speed to go "out of style."Unlikely to happen any time soon I'm afraid. Riddell stopped manufacture of the VSR4, the "generic" Riddell football helmet about two years ago, and Schutt have a habbit of following Riddell like a lost puppy, hence their new design with the "shelf" (their term not mine) at the back which looks almost identical to the Revo Speed but with an even more ridiculous facemask. Get used to weird looking helmets I think they'll be "in" for a while. 9erssteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
