If you’ve made art using the Helldiver Armory, I’d love to share it here (with credit ofc).
Feel free to dm me to submit anything

I'm also going to be making a new version of the Armory called -

Project Armory: Helldivers II

I might do just a friendly competition and the winner will have their image used in the thumbnail for it when i releases, if they wish, but it wont be for any rewards or nothin.

Next update 1.7

This is kind of bigger update, so will be a while before its out.

Basically, I'm redoing the file, since i never really even planned on posting the file when i started it, and then not expecting how large the file ended up, i let it get kinda messy with unused data, duplicate textures, etc. So this should hopefully make it a little smaller. As well as renaming some things, since a lot of stuff is like "0x11ec8e2296a3d662" just to help

A lot of armors are retextures, so so something like a normal map is duplicate multiple times. Especially for capes

CYCELS UPDATE

I know how to get the shader to work with CYCELS, so I'm going to update every armor to make sure its compatible

New skeleton

I'm going to include the in game skeleton since DreamingOxxy let me know its useful when porting
(i also want to make a new rig but that wont be ready for this update)

Texture Fixes

Basically going to try and fix every texture issue i know about and can find

[frozen nest]

Update 1.7 Change log (WIP)

Capes will now have a Slider to rip them

• Light of Eternal Liberty cape Decal Fixed
• Tyrant hunter cape was weirdly difficult to get working, but is fixed
• Martyris Rex cape made more in game accurate no gradient

Freedom's Flames Updated - cycles ready

[frozen nest]

I'm going to pack it and post it as a Bata eventually, i also decided to make a new rig for the diver. cause it honestly seems fun to me rn and redoing the file is kind of mind numbing

[frozen nest]

A small update on progress, In a few days, I'm going to be extremely busy with a move, job hunting, and a few other obligations. so i probably wont be able to finish this update before then unfortunately. but what ever i do get finished will be launched as a Bata as a second file. i want to get all the armors in the beta, and maybe start on the weapons. but there's a chance i wont have time

[frozen nest]

1.7.3 BETA is now posted

[frozen nest]

For those who are wondering, im not going to have access to my pc for a few weeks starting tomorrow.

So 1.7 will be out in a month or so

[frozen nest]

There is already a new warbond, so 1.7 will include the new control group warbond

Im about a week from being able to start working on it again. Should be out befor the end of the month

[frozen nest]

After long time thinking 1.7 will be the last major update.

There will still be periodic updates to add in new warbonds and content, but those updates might be far and few in-between, unless enough people request an update. 1.7 will be uploaded when i believe its good enough to be the 'finalized' version of the helldiver armory.

Just as a reminder, this file is open source, and people are free to do anything other then sell these assets as they belong to Arrow head studio.

[frozen nest]

Im back and pc is partly set up, ill start working on 1.7 starting tomorrow

[frozen nest]

I'm going to be participating in 30 day Render challenge https://createwithclint.com/community-challenges/11#get-started
so work on the next update will be slowed down some, I highly recommend people join the challenge

[frozen nest]

IM SKIPPING UPDATE 1.7 AND GOING TO 1.8

1.7 Is nearly done, just finishing the weapons. But the second the odst warbond is out im adding it to the
1.8 ODST UPDATE.

I Have a 2 day weekend coming up so hopefully ill be able to get it 100% done by then

[frozen nest]

Very Unfortunate news helldivers

1.8 is indefinitely postponed until i can get my pc working again. My motherboard died out of nowhere

I cant afford to replace the motherboard atm, due to the move and honestly just being a poor college student.

If anywone wants to try and maintain the file while i cant update it. Dm me

[frozen nest]

For those who want to help and donate, it would be very much appreciated

https://ko-fi.com/g4nzo/goal?g=0

[frozen nest]

Theres a chance a few family members are going to be able to help, with getting a replacement so i could be back sooner then expected.

[frozen nest]

Early Christmas/birthday presents is replacing my mobo. I could be back in just a few days cause amazon shipping lol.

[frozen nest]

Small update on the pc situation,

.

Im other news i might be back in a week or 2, maybe.

UPDATE - HALO X HELLDIVER WARBOND.
#1410346332031422474 message
Thank you @gray bane for making this and letting me pin it.
This should work like my normal file. Rigged and ready to go

[frozen nest]

MAJOR UPDATE

WE'RE BACK HELLDIVERS!!!, ONE MOBO AND A PSU LATER AND SHES ALIVE AGAIN.

RAAAHHHHHHHH

[frozen nest]

CPU COOLER IS DEAD, psu probably killed it when it died.

Thankfull air coolors are pretty cheap, i should be back at the end of the week if there isn't any more surprises.

[frozen nest]

Im going to be doing some testing when i get back, but there might be a new structure to the armory.

Rather then a single monolithic file, im going to break it down into many smaller lib files, that one master file will link all the assets from.

This will allow me to push out updates without the need of re-downloading the 15+gbs worth of data each time. You simply need to download the patch files, which is much smaller.

It will also just improve my ability to make edits and add new warbonds.

[frozen nest]

THIS MSG IS FROM MY PC
the cooler i got is a little underpowered, and it will start to over heat at like 15 mins of 100% cpu usage, but its enough to let me actually do things on my pc.

Game Rig

• The game rig is needed when porting into other software's like unreal, or unity

• Important information to know about the rig, it isnt attached to the armor, so you'll still need to attach it, but its there in the Helldiver Core for those who want it

CURRENTLY WORKING ON

Ummm, its done aside from a few things, i need to re rip a armor, and im going to look for some of the event capes

Next update 1.8 - Nearly done, Might be out as soon as tonight

Basically, I'm redoing the file, since i never really even planned on posting the file when i started it, and then not expecting how large the file ended up, i let it get kinda messy with unused data, duplicate textures, etc. So this should hopefully make it a little smaller.

As well as adding in all the War bonds i missed while i was gone

CYCELS UPDATE
I know how to get the shader to work with CYCELS, so I'm going to update every armor to make sure its compatible

New skeleton
I'm going to include the in game skeleton since DreamingOxxy let me know its useful when porting

Texture Fixes
Basically going to try and fix every texture issue i know about and can find, probably wont be 100%

[frozen nest]

UPDATE IS DONE

Major Update 1.8, live

Optimization

The file works better now, at least on my end, it will still be hard for many to run, but i expect many more people could run it if they wanted too.

Texture fixes

Nearly every texture issue is now fixed, and every armor should be in game accurate now.

Cycles UPDATE

Everything should now work in cycles

Torn Capes

In every cape shader, In the shader tab, there is now a Value you can change from 0 to .9 that will damage the cape, .1 being a little damaged, and .9 being very damaged

Attachments Update

All the attachments from my knowledge is now in the file
Due to the amount of work it would take to give each weapon its attachments, i decided to just include the attachments in the file, Users can manually doing "child of" constraints when needed

Control Group Warbond Added

ODST Warbond Added

Dust Devils Warbond Added

This update was a long time coming, and despite many delays, I've, finally been able to get it out

HAVE FUN HELLDIVERS

[frozen nest]

Despite this update not even being finished uploading, I already have plans for the future of The Helldiver Armory.

This file will eventually become the legacy version. Updates won’t stop anytime soon—if ever—but they’ll mainly just add new warbond content. The real shift I want to make requires a different workflow and a better structure, which means starting fresh with a whole new project. I’m still deciding if that new version will use baked textures and a UI setup similar to https://discord.com/channels/1210541115829260328/1350621902455963668.
.
Depending on how the second file turns out, the legacy Armory may continue to get new gear updates indefinitely.

Project Armory: Helldivers II.

This version will focus on building armors, capes, weapons, and more in a way that’s animator-ready. Big changes will include baked textures, optimized meshes, a custom shader, and a reworked rig. On top of that, I want to add overlays for blood and mud effects, Helldiver heads, control rigs for weapons, and for armor parts.
The main separation is not trying to stay "In game accurate", but rather "quality" above all else.

[frozen nest]

Helldiver Armory Community Art

If you’ve made art using the Helldiver Armory, I’d love to share it here (with credit ofc).
Feel free to dm me to submit anything

I'm also going to be making a new version of the Armory called -

HELLDIVER ARMORY II 1.0

(name change)

THUMBNAIL COMPETITION

Rules

• One submission per person (doesnt need to be made for this challenge and can be an old render)
• Must be centered around helldivers

What im looking for, ill be looking for renders that show off HDA, with helldivers, weapons, capes etc. And will be judged by 3 people, myself and 2 freinds.

Timeline, idk, a month, maybe longer, until i get HDA2 at a state id want to post it.

What you will be competing for.
First place can have their art as the thumbnail for HDA2.
Its mostly just to be done for fun tbh, and anyone is welcome to join.

Theres a BUG with the new update and theres issues with how i attached the rig to the meshes. In pose mode it seems to work, but outside it breaks, and there just seems to be issues.
I took a shortcut, so that's my bad.

Patch 1.8.1 should be out today or tomorrow.

I'm going to be starting production on a Helldivers Comic
The comic is called

Helldivers: Fronts of Liberty

This is a Fan Universe anthology comic series set in the Helldivers universe. Helldivers: Fronts of Liberty is the umbrella title for the series of comics, each volume will have its own title, and be a self-contained story. (EX. Helldivers: Fronts of Liberty - Flames of Freedom Vol..1)
Its going to be an anthology series, which means their will be no center cast of characters, there may be an over arching narrative and events shared with multiple comics, but the stories will not span multiple volumes, possibly releasing in chapters as they get made. Most will be stories that actually happened, but i do want to do a few "In universe" propaganda comics.

The main idea of this comic is to fill in the gaps of the Official helldiver universe with what we know, and just tell cool story's. One of the bigger focuses will be on warbonds, and Armor/Weapon descriptions.
I’ll do my best to stay authentic to Helldivers lore, but there will be mistakes, personal interpretations, and creative Liberty's i will take along the way. Some stories may differ greatly from what you expect from Helldivers, and that's partly by design. To be clear, this is my take on the Helldivers universe, not an official extension of the canon.
(EX. #lore-and-design message)

Community

I think the best version of this comic is one that is collaborative, If you’d like to discuss ideas, potential storylines, or what you’d want to see in a Helldivers comic, I’m open to feedback and conversation.

HELLDIVER SHORT FILM COMING OUT NEXT MONTH, NOV 28TH

Ive gotten the privilege of working on some shots for @torpid crow short film. Its been a blast to work on, please, watch and share to get the word out.

THE HELLDIVER 2.0 UPDATE IS COMING AND WHERE IVE BEEN

This is going to be more of a casual post, But i want to go over 2.0.

2.0 Is going to launch incomplete, it will come out as i do work on it, and certain armors/weapons/capes will be prioritized (you can request stuff for 2,0 here if you want)

Where I've been

between my job, taking a break, and working on the FOR LIBERTY! a Helldivers Film (comes out Nov 28th btw) Ive just been busy, But with the new war bond coming up soon, and my work on the film being done. Ill have more free time

I want to add a bunch of drivers and better controllers for the rig. all the values i change in the video i want a Control for the rig you can edit in Pose mode. and a few utility things when it comes to making things better for optimization, and updating stuff.

Proxy / Low quality and High definition versions

One thing ill be adding is a low poly version or proxy as a way to help performance when working with the rig, or for divers in the background that don't need full quality. The HD B-01 Tactical has about 97000 Tris, Where as the LQ B-01 has about 12000. And when animating or posing it becomes apparent how much more optimized the LQ feels. Ofc its at the cost of shading issues, and quality drop. If baking the textures didn't take so much time i would also do that for every armor in a LQ and a HD version, but as of now its not worth the time investment.
and for those who don't have a beefy PC or running on laptops, it will make it a lot more likely they'll be able to use the LQ assets.

Weapon overhaul

weapons will get new rigs, and customization though that will have a much slower progress then the armors. But i want to get skins and attachments from the game working intuitively with blender. and possibly just extra options just cause. not sure yet

When is it coming out?

No idea, i want to work on a better rig and figure out the file structure and generally I'm not 100% focused on it due to just other priorities.

The Helldiver II Armory 1.8 VS The Helldiver II Armory 2.0

This current file will be marked legacy once i get to a decent point for 2.0, but it will still receive updates when a new war bond or content comes out.

[frozen nest]

[frozen nest]

New warbond December 2nd

[frozen nest]

Sneak peak at the new rig for 2.0, big thanks to @clever jolt for letting me use his ARP rig as a base.

A few features is just better readability, and it wont have any more need for scripts or pugins, the gear at the top will control all the driver options.

How the files are going to work:
Theres going to be source files, that will have the armors, weapons, etc. In a individual blend files. There will be a appending file that has all the assets linked from the src files.

This helps, as lets say for example, theres currently a texture issue with a few of the b-01 Tactical lean variants. They dont have yellow on them. If i where to push an update for it on 1.8 everyone would need to download the 17 gbs patch. So im waiting till 1.8.1 when the new warbond comes out to push a fix.

Where as in the 2.0 structure, to push that texture fix, i can just push out a 1 ~ 80 mb src file, and itll just replace the old file.

As well as this has some easier "modding" support. Its a system people can tap into to add custom weapons and armors into, and make a patchs for. And post it if they want. Which means if i ever stop supporting this, itll still open source, and easy to maintain.

[frozen nest]

MAJOR UPDATE - MAJOR UPDATE: Helldivers II Armory 2.0 Early Access!

Also : HELLDIVER FOR LIBERTY, a Helldivers film, is coming out TODAY!

Regarding the Armory
HDA 2.0.1 will be released soon. However, it will initially be lacking a lot of content, so HDA 1.8.X [Legacy] will actually remain more up-to-date until we reach the 2.1.0 release.
The new 2.0.X branch will still bring some major improvements, including:

A new Helldiver rig
Proxys
a lot More features
A physics-based cape option
A fixed cape mesh
A new file structure
A few planned surprises down the line

One of the biggest focuses will be weapon rigs. I plan on slowly making new rigs for weapons over time. Until I get to them, many will still be using the legacy rigs.

Its going to be really bare bones at first, But will receive regular updates. But it will have the New rig, proxys, and more features added as 2.0 gets updated.
I'm really excited to see what you guys make with this.

Community Plans

I may also be launching a website and Discord server focused on HDA support, community art, and general discussion

Its been a Really fun year for helldiver artists, I'm hoping next year is just as fun

Ill be launching a test of version of 2.0 in my server later today, it may not be stable so its for testing, It will only be for a day or 2 before its here in this server. I want to redo how i do attachments so i left the Liberator unfinished as it will eventually get a rework anyway.
