Aetheric Splithelm (Speedrun 16 hours)

3D Model

Speedrun — from concept to final render within a strict time limit.

16 hours.

Aetheric Splithelm is an experimental next-generation steampunk helmet, forged at the intersection of science and alchemy. Its solid bronze shell wraps around the head like a second skin of polished metal, adorned with rivets and cast ornaments. The central lens with a soft blue glow is more than just an optical device — it’s a window into the aetheric field, allowing the wearer to perceive hidden flows of energy.

The helmet is laced with channels for steam and impulse transmission, and features rotating gears on the side — the mechanical heart of the device. Its shape is defined by reinforced armor plates and an anatomically precise silhouette that blends military functionality with retrofuturistic elegance.

This is not merely head protection — it’s an interface between man and the invisible currents of aether. Put it on, and you become a living part of the great machinery that drives progress.
