IT MUST BE FULL SIZE.

OWLCAT COMMANDS THUS.

But seriously, I'm hopeful about this, it looks like a good job. But full size would be 10x the awesome.

stop the bullshit and just post it if you have it

better not be blocky-type model, /po wants chokipeta style cuts on that thing
>> Anonymous
>>75399
You could just connect the pieces without scoring anything but the glue tabs to get that Chokipeta look. It lets the folds come naturally.

Who the hell prints a test-build with mostly black? Do you enjoy wasting ink?
Also, it's too small vertically, make it at least 1-3 inches taller.
Also, cocks.

ok, i spent all the time from the last post till now working on this, i got the 3d file from google warehouse here:

http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=17150f505339db5de86053e64872c585&prevstart=0

i havent test built it, but the tabs are all lookin good, and should be buildable. im test building it as we speak, no color of course, i figure ill just airbrush the color on after :)

hope you like it!

i might as well, but not tonight. still working on my keyblade project as well. also.. uhh, heres a hint at the next relese from me..(its ALMOST ready to unfold.) pic related, no shit.
>> Anonymous
this is excellent!!!! can't wait, the warthog is mint. any idea of timeframe to have the helmet textured? good luck with all your projects. fantastic work
>> dannifood4less
>>75509
i havent messed with texturing too much yet, just designing and editing, BUT i kinda know how, so ill have to mess with it and see, i have to go back into the sketckup, explode the model, and color... i hope i can do this without having to re specify the edges that open. hopefully ill get this one colored, test built, and final draft, before the guys at gamescanner finish theirs. :P

as for the warthog, i should have a pdo uncolored ready in a few days (hopefully)
>> Anonymous
cheers dannifood4less, excellent. will you texture it with textures from the game? also if it works ok will you texture the warthog aswell?
>> Anonymous
>>75511i hope i can do this without having to re specify the edges that open.
I'm not sure if I understand correctly what you're hoping for, but if you go back to SketchUp to apply textures, then of course you'll have to re-do all the work you did on the uncolored model in Pepakura Designer on your new model.
>> dannifood4less
>>75513
yeah i wasnt thinking, i was mixing my file types. ya know, i really wish that metasequoia accepted google sketchup files.. oh and while im on this subject my pepakura wont read google earth files. i thought it did. oh well.
>> Anonymous
just wondering, can't you in Pepakura Designer apply textures from images? if this is possible you should not have to go into skecthup to apply textures. Just a thought
>> Anonymous
>>75516
If you already set textures, you can change them in Pepakura, but I don't think you can add them from scratch.
The filetypes Pepakura can handle are right there on the site: http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/productinfo/func5.html

I usually save as obj after I made a SketchUp model: Metasequoia handles obj very well. You can get a plugin for the free SketchUp version to safe as obj if your version doesn't support it, or you can downlaod the trial version of the Pro version. It only lasts 8 hours or something, but if you do your modeling in the free version and the converting in the trial pro version which only takes like 10 seconds, it can last a long time...

ok, update time, i got my test build finished, found t small parts that needed fixing, and im doing the textures for the helmet as we speak, hopefully i can get it all finished up before i have to go to work. also im closer to finishing the warthog, the polys are looking alot cleaner now, almost ready for pepakura

>>75648yeah i dotn know why, but that file type will not load, and its weird too, because thats what i used to use on my old computer. maybe ill uninstall and re-install.

>>75803
use the newest version of pepakura?
>> Anonymous
Cool. Question: Is it possible for you to also make a 1/2 size version? Both in the interests of conserving paper and ink and the fact that I have no need for a full size Master Chief helmet. But a 6 inch one would be kind of neat. (Or would that make it too difficult to build?)
>> Anonymous

WTF!? Everyone needs a full size Master Chief helmet.

>>75803
How big will the warthog be?
Full size?lol
>> dannifood4less
     File :-(, x)
>>75817
ok, i plan to make one about 12 inches (fullsize) and another one around 10 inches maybe slightly smaller. any smaller and the hard parts become impossible parts :)

>>75824honestly it may take a little more time to figure out, the rollbar is gonna be really hard, since its tiny. i hope the finished model is going to be around 14 inches
long, that seems like a decent size right? ill try to make a smaller one for those of you that have limited ink/paper, but i might have to make that version have no rollbar (who knows)

also, i will include a colorless version, for those of you that have colored paper, or choose to airbrush the color on after like me.

everything is in place now! i did not color the tabs, but i positioned them close enough to their connecting pieces that you should be able to figure it out. im building it now, pics soon!

And here's the obligatory request for a pdf version (I'd hate to export from pepakura only to find out I fucked up the scale)

Master Chief is kind of gay.
