My attempt at modeling plate armor based out of the "Basic Plate" concept from "The Art of World of Warcraft" using 3ds Max. Here's a rough draft with the main details in place. In case you're wondering, it's a woman under all of that plate. More details coming, and a number of things I'd really like to improve on it. More on the way...

Modeled in 3ds Max using Subdivision Surfaces. (NURMS)
