OK. Thank you for your help, and happy new year!
: )
Happy New Year to you and your family and friends as well! ;o)
Can you please make a slenderman papercraft?! i would love it alot :)
I never know what kind of models I will make in the future, but because I have so many ideas already, there’s not a very big chance that I’ll make a papercraft slender man, sorry…
I don’t remember if anyone else ever made one already, but it never hurts to search around a bit of course, or maybe somebody will make one in the future, so keep checking back on the papercraft link sites from time to time! ;o)
Thanks a lot! im making mt own now!!! :):):)
*my
Thank you so much! im so happy i can have fun with my own models now!!!!!! :)
Oh!!! wait, will sketchup work?
There are two versions of Sketchup (a free version and a Pro version) which should work both on Windows and Mac computers; if you’re having trouble installing or running it, visit the Sketchup website Help section website or the Help forums (there’s a separate Help forum for Mac users) so hopefully they will answer your questions and help you with your problems.
If you want to use an unfold plugin, you will have to put it in Sketchup’s plugin directory yourself, and then if all is well, you can use it after (re)starting Sketchup from the Plugin menu (usually it’s explained how to do this and how to use the plugin from the website where you got it.
Good luck and have fun! ;o)
OH! i finnally download pepakura!!! (now how the heck do i use it) XD i remembered my familky had an old windows pc computer, i downloaded it and it is cool….. (what does this button do?) so im trying to make my own projects thanks!
I’m happy to hear you found a way to use Pepakura Designer! As you’ll see, it’s really not very difficult to use: it works by opening a digital 3D model (you have to make one in a separate 3D program of your choice or find one in a 3D format that’s supported by Pepakura Designer (link) first of course!) and then you can play around with the buttons a bit to find out what they all do.
There is some info on the Pepakura Designer website on how to use the program: link and like I said, just by making and opening a simple 3D model first and then playing around with it in Pepakura Designer, you will quickly learn how to use it so you can make more complex models too. ;o)
Good luck and have fun!
Thank You very much, so far im still working on my Sora, because i haven’t been Crafting in a while but i my try it once i get more ink ;) Thank You for your guidance youve been a lot of help lately :):):):):)
The good thing with papercrafting as a hobby, is that you can take all the time you want! ;o) Just keep everything in a safe place until you want to to papercraft some more. I often take breaks too because sometimes you just want to do something else fun of course, but I always come back to papercraft! ;o)
I was just wondering if you’ve ever thought of making a Jack Skellington paper craft. I’ve seen some of your work and I think if anyone can make one, you can! I’d be really grateful!
I do like Tim Burton’s style so anything is possible, but because I have so many papercraft ideas, I really can’t promise you which models I will make in the future, sorry…
But I’m not the only papercrafter one who likes Tim Burton, though! ;o) Aside from some simple and chibi Jack Skellingtons (like this one or this one or this one), Chamoo232 also made a “normal” Jack Skellington: http://www.freewebs.com/chamoo_papercrafts/nightmarebeforechrismas.htm
(she actually made a lot of models, including some other Nightmare Before Christmas ones, and because she doesn’t really maintain her website anymore, she put them all in one download package on 4Shared; so you’ll have to make a free account there if you don’t already have one)
Alright, thanks a lot! Oh and do you recommend using normal printing paper for the crafts or just cardstock, like in your instructions?
I always use thicker cardstock myself, and I think most other people do too, because it makes the final paper models stronger and it holds its shape a bit better then thinner paper.
But of course which paper to use is really everybody’s own choice, and you can always try different thicknesses of paper, to feel the difference yourself. ;o)
Have fun building!
one more question.. would you recommend kurt zisa for a paper craft model? i looked through it and it looked kind of hard…?
I really can’t tell you which models will be easy for you and which ones won’t of course; what some people find easy, others find almost impossible and the other way around! ;o)
Most parts of Kurt Zisa aren’t really much more difficult than most models I think, as long as you pre-shape/curve them properly before glueing them together (you should always do that of course! ;o) but some parts might be bit more challenging.
The most important part, is to get it right right from the beginning: because of the way he’s standing on his legs, it’s very important that they’re very strong and built well. The six arms can all be glued on as the last step, so you can work out the balance with them (the best way is to glue on one arm on the left side, then one on the opposite side on the right to correct the balance, and so on.
So like all models, Kurt Zisa has “easy” parts and “challenging” parts, but it’s really not my most difficult model. The trick really is to do your best on each step, but you should always do that of course. ;o)
;( i didnt work :( sorry
I’m sorry to hear you couldn’t get Pepakura Designer running on your Mac computer under a virtual Windows environment… Several people on the Nintendo Papercraft forums told there that they did manage to get it working. I think there are some threads in this board about how to get Pepakura Designer working on a Mac, but I don’t know which ones exactly, so you will have to search for that yourself: http://www.zapotlanejo.info/Nintendopapercraftforum/viewforum.php?f=19&sid=febb9980b38369c25ebaff6f4befa724 Like I said, I’m afraid I don’t know much about Mac computers, so there really isn’t much more help I can offer, sorry…
There are other alternatives of course to make your own papercraft models instead of using Pepakura Designer that don’t require Windows (by hand, using an unfold plugin for a 3D program like Sketchup or Blender, a CAD program, some people even just use the shape tools from a Word program!): https://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/comment-page-127/#comment-21360
Every method requires time and practice of course, but so does Pepakura Designer. Some methods are easier for some people, other methods are easier for other people. There’s not a “best way” to make paper models, you really have to find out for yourself which method works best for you if you want to try! ;o)
thank you! i will tell you later if it worked! :) THANKS AGAIN NINJATOES!
