no.. not all i want to know how you make a 3d model in Metasequoia (from your drawing to 3d)thax.
Oh, you mean making a 3D model from scratch? I usually start with an existing model from a game or something like that, when I need to make a model from scratch (like my NES Zapper) I actually don’t use Metasequoia, but SketchUp… ;o)
SketchUp is very intuitive to use (much easier than Metasequoia I think) and there are alot of very good (video) tutorials for SketchUp on the official site (http://sketchup.google.com/training/) but the best ones are probably on YouTube or elsewhere on personal websites or blogs from people that use it themselves.
It’s probably very hard to make *great* 3D models with SketchUp *because* it’s so easy, but if it’s only basic 3D modelling you need, SketchUp is very fast and easy to use! ;o)
can you send me a video how to design papercraft from begining and finishing send me at kevin_ads@yahoo.com thax before or you can upload it in youtube.
A whole video from start to finish would be *a lot* of work (and I think it would also be very boring for you to watch… ;o)
A lot of people ask me about the way I make my papercraft models, and you can read a bit about it in the comments here and on my weblog (http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/) and DeviantArt account (http://ninjatoespapercraft.deviantart.com/) already.
On my weblog, you can also see a lot of my “works in progress”.
From time to time, I try to give a little insight on the way I make my papercraft models and I will try to make a few more specific tutorials in the future, but I’ll need to find sufficient time to do so first. ;o)
So all I can say for now, is stay tuned!
what the program you use to design papercraft model.please help me.
Although some of my models are done by hand (just drawing the parts with a pencil and scanning them to the computer) for my computer generated paper models I usually use a 3D program called Metasequoia (http://www.metaseq.net/english/index.html) to make/rebuild a 3D model that I can then unfold with Pepakura (http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/).
After that, I do the last fixes and finishing touches (making a nice lay out, adding part numbers and sometimes helpful tips (I hope ;o) in Photoshop.

Hey, a little question, are you Dutch? Because of the ‘Hobbylijm’ on the pics, I have the same glue. And of the green plate, my sister has the same one… And because of the name in the link: saarloos. ^^
I have made two papercrafts from you right now and they are SO great!! see the pics on my site ^^ http://www.liesebirdie.nl (yes, I’m Dutch ;-) ) greets
Yep, fellow kaaskop hierzo… ;o)
You have a nice portfolio, I particularly like… well, I think you can guess… ;o)
Thanks dude and more power! hope i could see one in the future
Please make a model for squall base on his FF8 form please. thank you.
Well, I’m a big fan of the game, so there’s definately a (big) chance I’ll make a few FF8 characters in the future. ;o)
Hi my name is Ravi. i also love making paper crafts. I found out about your site from my dad who helps me find websites that let’s you make paper crafts. i made all the army related stuff and my romm is like an army base. thanks for making this grest stuff, and I’am waiting for new paper crafts to come. thanks and do reply
I’m glad you like my models! My goal is to make all the units from Advance Wars, so you might have to find somewhere else to sleep as your room will probably become too crowded with all the models to come… ;o)
I have done almost all of the zelda papercraft. Some turned out great others eh. I’m sure that my beginners level is getting better and will be able to really do well with others.
I would really like to see a Fierce Diety’s mask to go along with the Majora’s mask. I really liked the game and the papercraft of them. I tried to do fierce diety link but it turned out just ok.
Thanks and keep up the good work
Josh
I have so many Zelda models that I’d like to some day, that it’s not funny anymore… ;o)
I would love to do the masks from Majora’s Mask, but I don’t know when I will have the time… After Ganondorf I think I will do a more complex one again (as if Ganondorf isn’t taking me long enough already… ;o) so maybe I’ll do a few as side projects then.
No promises though! ;o)
Last week, I found out about your website from the forum of Sprite Stitch. I caught the eye on The King of Red Lions model. I thought that I should give it try.
I printed on the premium cardstock (Wausau paper 65 lb or 176 g/m square). I can’t remember where, why, how, what I bought for. I had this bunch around in my room. As printing in the backward order, the red color ran low.
I begun with the hull. While I was building this model, I read some of Hall of Famers about this very same model. Sound like there is more common problem on the lack of weight support.
Back to building, I notice some uncut pieces that look lack of the support. I mean, look at piece #76 (a platform above boat floor) and piece #87 (black mast base). Both are shallow and no support inside. Also too many “stacking blocks” to glue together. That is why the mast would be lean off. I decided to modify few pieces. The areas that is “stack-glue” are cut into tabs. I created new support open box to put under piece #76 (of course, I measure carefully). When I glued #76, #87, and new support, #87 turned out look like it is a block. I will send you some images when I get this model done. I did not mount #76 to the hull until I got the mast done. I did not realize that “sail canvas” got too heavy because of double paper together. After the complete mast, I mounted to the hull. I glued on the floor of the boat first then I glued rest. I had to hold this platform and the hull for a while. I had used 3 different “super” glues.
After holding, I placed on the stand to see how it go. I left it overnight. I checked this today. The mast did not bend like others. Only bend slightly on piece #90 (black “joint”). I am starting on the head now. Give me few more days before I will send you some images.
