If you want me to, I'll do unfolds for a small fee and I'll edit it as many times as you need after the small fee is payed.Do you need a beginner’s guide to Pepakura designer? Want to make your own figure? Or maybe you’re a digital designer looking to explore 3D design software beyond Photoshop… Then Pepakura designer is for you! As the name suggests, Pepakura designer is software used for designing papercraft figures. Save if you have the full version, Print and you're done! If you need a back up of the unfold, scan it back into the computer OR

Look under 2D MENU and see if show flaps ans show edge ID are checked if not then check 'em move the slider downt to where there are less fold lines, but still some for the high detail parts. Lets make it a bit smother so you don't have to sand as much!Ĭlick the Icon that looks like red blue and green pencils. Now use your tools to put pieces on pages! If it is GREEN then it can be separated into 2 different parts. If the line is RED then It can be joined with the other corresponding face. The move tool moves parts, rotate tool brings up the red circles that you use to rotate the part to fit the page. Oh but whats this? Its still in one piece? Yep it is, so now it's time to introduce the Move tool(Ctrl+M, Rotate tool(Ctrl+R),and the Divide/Connect face tool(Ctrl+N) Relax you spaz, it's just the 3d model smushed down on to the paper so you can cut it out and reassemble! Now Im sure you like "OH GOD WHAT IS THAT OVER THERE?"

Type in your scale (If you don't know the armor scale check the scaling thread HERE) and type in the height. Now that we have it in PEP we need to unfold itĬlick Unfold and make sure the box next to Auto is NOT checked.

It should look like this when opened in PEP. Lets say you have a 3d model already in one of PEP's many readable formats, like oh I dunno, Kamen Rider Hibiki's helmet. The full version is around $45 with tax BUT OH SO WORTH IT! You can get it for free, but it WILL be a pain to layout parts and scale over and over again with no save function. Welcome to the pepakura designer thread! This is so you get the basic rundow of how to use the program and get started on your armor! If you haven't already, please download Pepakura Designer 3 HERE
