My latest ZBrush turntable shows a helmet concept inspired by the NES, with animated visor states: dark tint ➡ clear ➡ chrome.

Like if you want the tutorial for this.

What if the NES launched a space program in 1985?

Introducing the NES Retro Helmet Concept—a futuristic helmet built from my childhood DNA.

Over-the-top? Absolutely.
Functional? Probably not.
Fun? 100%.
Retrofuturism Much?

Ever wondered what a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) would look like as a sci-fi helmet? No? Well, I did it for ya!

I went all-in on this retro, over-the-top design for my Advanced ZBrush Students.

What other mashups you'd want to see?

Just wanted to share a small but meaningful milestone—
My work was featured in the ZBrush slideshow during install!

It’s a quiet honor and I’m grateful to the teams at Maxon, and ZBrush community!
