Lines or no lines, that's the question... Anonymous
>>18061Holy shit that looks terrible with all the lines everywhere.

Good point. I don't really find lines disturbing on papercraft of cars for example, but I can imagine you wouldn't want that on the face of a person papercraft.

I'm trying to make my own person papercraft, and I'm gonna unfold it in Pepakura when it's finished.
Now I can turn off the fold lines, but how are you guys gonna know where to cut/fold? Won't it be to0 difficult to figure out?

Or I could release two versions (one with lines and one without). Then you could decide for yourself to make a nicer looking version without lines (maybe you could use the one with lines as a reference for where to cut/fold), or you could decide to make the easier version with lines.

What do you think? Opinions please!!

make 2 versions. That's the best solution.

Before anybody asks what I'm designing or when it's gonna be released:
I'm not gonna tell you what I'm designing, but let's just say I'm 100% sure you're all going to love it.
And when it'll be finished? Have a look at the uv mapping I'm gonna have to do...

Suggestion:
Some Papercraft have the fold lines OUTSIDE of the pattern, so you can lay a straight edge over the two marks and score the fold.
Too bad Pepakura can?t do that, but if you import the two models (with/without fold lines) into Photoshop, it should be possible.

I've worked with some of the patterns that are released with and without the lines. I simply print out the unlined one, sit in front of the PC, and use a scoring tool to put all the folds in all the pieces BEFORE cutting them out, following the pattern from the lined one. (If you read the Canon papercraft site, they suggested doing this in the general papercraft tips -- ever since adding this step, papercrafts have been even more of a breeze!)

How about making a completely lineless version, then an exact reverse image of everything without any solid colors, and nothing but lines? You print a page out, flip it over, and print the corresponding lines on the other side.

that model is the shit.
I must have it.

Here's stupid person who wants to know that how do I remove the folding lines by myself from, for example, that Suiseiseki? Info would be creatly appreciated.

You could also use lines that only slightly differ in color from the main color (preferably darker), that way, they'll still be barely visible for folding and cutting. But they wouldn't be very visible on your completed model.
