My prototype is coming along well. I have all of the corners attached and have put on one of the side pieces as well as one of the edge pieces for demonstrational purposes. You can probably see that I have a few tweaks to make, but that's to be expected.Questions? Comments?
looking sweet.
Looks fantastic.What are you using for the final textures?
>>102628That, my friend, is a terrific question. I'll probably wind up taking the exported pictures from Pepakura and texturing them manually in Photoshop. I can do that, I'm an Art major.
If you want, I can rapidshit the textures from the game.
>>102633That'd be nice.
When you are done, Mind posting the template for this newer companion cube?
Love!coming along nicelyi have alot of left over cardboard boxes,would love to make a life size oneonce this template is availablealtho i'm gonna make the Aperture one
Should definately do one of the Weighted Companion Cube and the Weighted Storage Cube. I'd have a bunch of one, and only one of the others. I'd burn the Companions left and right. Whenever I got mad.
>>102634Alright, booting up Windows.
>>102639I will post the template of the final version, not this prototype. I have a few modifications to make and I need the textures. I'd hate for>>102640to make life-sized cardboard prototype weighted cubes!
>>102688thank you;_;
>>102688That template sucks hardcore. THAT'S WHY I MADE THIS ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE
>>102676thank you, take your timelooking good>>102690while i appreciate the effort,i totally agree
Well, it's been a week OP... any updates?
>>102756Check again, it's been about 18 hours or so since I posted this. Go buy a clock or become an hero.
lmfaohow much work do you have left of this? This one looks like it'll be the best one yet
>>102836I have quite a bit left to do.Where did that guy go with the textures? This is coming together nicely, so I'd like to get cracking on the next prototype.
>>102839not that guy, but heres the file from the game
>>102844Thanks man.As you can see, I haven't made much progress. I've been watching South Park and playing Wii all day. You can still get a better view of some of the bits here...
>>102847Finish it! Ill probably actually build this one.
>>102839Haha, whoops. Sorry. Girlfriend came over so.... She kind of took priority. Hoes before bros, man.
Update:I'm working on the new model instead of building the old anymore. My test to see if the pieces go together easily and well was a success. Instead of using the original textured from the game, I am instead making new ones that look like the originals. Fig. 1 is of the actual box texture. I matched the colors pretty well to the original and made a few tweaks of my own.Time to start on the other pieces...
>>102909Other Update:I don't think you have a girlfriend. Enjoy your hoe.
>>102911i like what i see
Here you go, /po/t-heads. I thought I'd open this one up to all of yous. I'd like some feedback on how well my custom textures look and how well they print. Enjoy.
>>102923thanks dude!I'll give it a try here today.
>>102923Is this file downloading okay for everyone? It doesn't seem to be working for me...This is the OP, I'm just checking on it.
>>102939got mine ok
>>102941Good, I got mine working too.Anyone have the texture of the Weighted Storage Cube? I'd like to make one of those too.
>>102943same guy as last time, heres the one from the game.
downloaded just finegood work
>>102947Awesome, thanks.
I'm making this life size, and using it like a coffee table!
paper portal!
And here's the Storage Cube. Enjoy its blue lines.
That's all for tonight. Have fun guys.Oh yeah, poast pics.
>>103004nice, i like
>>103004print'd, cutting the cube-parts atm. /po/lice, want pics of the finished cueb?
>>103122see>>103065poast pics
>>102676will the resolution be high enough to actually do this? id fucking love a lifesize companion cube
>>103004Why does the cube-part have several flaps per edge? im confuss
>>103129Well, you can just cut it all as one if you really wanted to.
>>103129Because Pepakura didn't believe that the cube was made of single edges.>>103128The resolution is pretty high. I made sure it was to make things easier for me.
>>103128id love fucking a lifesize companion cubeSorry /po/, but sometimes your day at work has been SO lame, you just HAVE to fix open doors like this one... ;)
I'll do a reference model, then scale this bad boy up to, say, 3 feet tall? To get the right look and texture, I'll use Rustoleum HAMMERED spray paint.Hell yeah.
>>103389Sounds awesome, dude. GO FOR IT
>>102688That printout is so bad. I printed it out, cut it (just about as good as I can), and the pieces don't fit to *themselves*.
>>103431then you fail, because many people have built that template already
>>103431I know, that's why I made these new ones. The old one just pissed me off that bad.
>>103434well it's more like actually building that one is more phail than anything
>>103467wtfs you talking about, i built it and it looks fine.I mean, it might not look exactly like the wcc, but its pretty close :\
Well I printed out both templates myself. They look pretty nice, if I do say so myself. I'm gonna start putting them together sometime this week. If you don't poast pics, I will...
>>103485yes close, but i'd rather build one that's closer.>>103603i have to wait til the weekend for time to build one, when i finish i definitely will post pics
/r/ the templates for the WCC, can't find em on Google
>>103681facepalm.jpg
>>103681Holy god facepalm.jpg
>>103682You beat me to it! Hivemind.
>>103681Disregard that, I suck cocks.
>>103685Eh, it's alright. Don't worry 'bout it.
>>10368110/10
Impressive.
How's it coming now? Also, didja use card stock?
>>103004excellent work, but that pdf seems fucht.the WCC looks fine, but the WSC is missing the next-to-last page (last page copied over it?) and so has only four side pieces.
What happened to the plush version?
Fix'd version of>>103004Enjoy
>>103962Whoops, forgot the file...
