It’slike a printer but for cutting the desings out of paper. Try yourselves! And give feedback with your creations!Īnd finally, if you have enough money… go for the Silhoute. I try the robot and this is how it looks in a diorama I’m working on. Once you have decided what model to do, click on print and be ready to suffer several hours trying to assemble it. I’m not very good creating textures, but a nice texture for the robot with oxide and moss will be amazing. And this is how it looks like.įrom this view you can just print the design or analize what parts are in the design (it is good to check parts when you are working on the model).Īn interesting option is to change the texture map. Just donwload the Viewer from the webpage and install it. So, after downloading it, let’s see how it looks like in the Pepakura Viewer. In my case, I have selected the model of a Laputan Robot. In Tektonten you can find almost every tematic. The papekura webpage has a model library, but unfortunately the models there are quite bad… so don’t worry, I give you a better ones. What about the Viewer? First of all, you need a model. Ok ok, don’t panic, the designer needs to be improved or you need to get lowpoly designs into it. I mean, 435 parts for cut fold and past together…. It seems to be fine, the problem is that the final papercraft ir HUGE. So… Let’s try Pepakura designer… with a Imperial Star Destroyer. So you only have to put the parts together, no need for scissors. And the Viewer for Silhouette Cameo takes the papercraft dessing and converts it into a file for the Silhoute cutters.The viewer does basically the opposite, takes the papercraft designs and turns it into a 3D model.The Designer module is used to import 3D files of models and turn them into papercraft modules.Designer and Viewer or Viewer for Silhoute Cameo. Then just print it and built a 3D object! (Remeber our post about Cubeecraft?). So… basically if you know how to create a 3D model or you have some models, you can actually use pepakura to convert them into a papercraft model. Pepakura is a software to make papercraft models from 3D models.
