The unfolding process can be tedious, but it’s also a vital part of making a paper model that can be built practically.
Once the program is installed, the next step is unfolding a model and printing out the pieces. If you have the appropriate conversion plug-ins, you can use models you design for yourself in freeware programs such as Blender or SketchUp as long as you can convert them to. The Tamasoft website has a gallery of models you can download for free, and there are countless prop and costume forums where members are willing to share models for use in Pepakura builds. It turns out you can find 3D models everywhere. Once the program is installed, the next thing you’ll need is a 3D model to print out. Besides, it’s so inexpensive that it’s worth paying the registration fee if only to encourage Tamasoft to keep making the program available. But registration does unlock a few more functions, such as the ability to save work in progress. The software doesn’t need to be registered for it to work. NOTE: At the time of this writing, Pepakura is available for Windows only. Love Halloween? Love making? Check out our special Halloween issue for more projects to scare and delight! Available now online or in print at fine retailers everywhereįirst, download and install a copy of Pepakura Designer from the Tamasoft website. Using a shareware program called Pepakura Designer - and techniques pioneered by the members of the HALO costuming forum - we’re going to walk through the creation of a wearable, science-fiction helmet prop (Figure 2-1). What they don’t say is that you don’t actually need any of it for prop making and costuming.įor genuinely professional-looking results, all that’s really needed is a computer with an ordinary printer materials that are readily available at a local hardware store, hobby store, and office supply center and some patience. Update: As of Feb 11th, 2013, here is a list of everything I've done so far with links. Update: As of May 28th, 2012, I will no longer be able to share the pepakura file for the Assassin's Creed 3 Tomahawk. Additionally, I keep an updated blog here, as I build through the 40K universe with. There are still a very few repository websites out there, such as the yahoo group BWC and BWC2, but many excellent files have vanished over the years as people's interests shift and web decay creeps in. This website is dedicated to the art of 40K papercraft, and the preservation of downloadable models. Technology websites and magazines are filled with countless articles about the latest developments in rapid prototyping and 3D printing. Make: Props and Costume Armor is now available for pre-order.Ī lot of amazing new technology is available to makers today. Learn how to paint, finish, and replicate this project, and discover step-by-step projects for more props and armor. This project is an excerpt from Make: Props and Costume Armor.
