>>140376 lowering the polycount is something that just happens when you make the 3D model more buildable, it's not necessary to do it seperately before you start thinking about how to make the model into a papercraft. If you have some good ideas on how to make a good papercraft from a high poly model, then you don't need to lower the poly count. Making 3D models and making 3D models to make into papercrafts using Pepakura require very different thinking.
If you have a lower arm made out of 100 polygons, you can manually make it into having just 6 polygons or something (just a "tube"), Then you made the part easier to build, and as a result, the polycount is lower. Not the other way around.
Sometimes if you have a nice, low poly model, you actually need to increase the polycount by making parts to help you build a digital model in real life out of paper.
Lowering the polycount is not the secret in making good papercrafts and not even a necessary step (although in 100% (rounded off lol) of the times, the final polycount will be lower as a RESULT of the work you have to do).
I really believe that /po/ can get better papercrafts when the enthusiasts that try it will realize this.
