Useful toolset for layout editing Pepakura Designer provides a simple and useful toolset for layout editing.One button unfolding An unfolded 3D model pattern is generated at the press of a button.
Other people can see both 3D model and 2D pattern by using Pepakura Viewer. Pepakura Designer supports the following 3D formats. Pepakura Designer integrations Supported formats All you have to do is prepare the 3D model. No special knowledge is required for making papercraft patterns. So the starting point is to take a 3D computer model created in your favorite modeling software, then use Pepakura Designer to create a 2D pattern which when cut out, folded and glued produces a 3D paper model. Pepakura does not have the possibility to create original 3D data. Pepakura transforms 3d models into printable 2D designs suitable for building out of paper. The software is developed in Japan (the word Pepakura stands for papercraft in Japanese). This can be done automatically or by specifying which edges need cutting first. Unfolding involves cutting the mesh into patches and then flattening them. After fastening all the aluminium together the cardboard was removed and smart pixel led strip lights installed in each channel.Pepakura Designer enables you to import a wide range of 3D objects and unfolds it to help you build physical models.
Then we would assemble these together and cut lengths of aluminium LED diffuser channels to tape to the edges of the cardboard shape. To enlarge the design we projected the A4 plan through a roof mounted projector onto big fridge and bike boxes. As well as this big mask we make 3 GIANT versions in a barn on the Matamata festival site. As well as the human sized masks I build a huge version to stay in the lab for experimenting with projection mapping. After about 4 iterations I was happy with the design and sent the plans out to the festival precipitants so they could print out the plans on an A4 printer and build their own. After cutting and assembling there would be changes after testing by wearing and handling the physical object, then making adjustments back in the 3Dmodel. (which can be fast is you use the select by appearance function). To complete this step I had to import the svg files into Illustrator and convert the lines into the correct colour and line type for laser cutting. After feeling happy with the designs I made in 3DsMax, I extracted the paper plan with Pepakura and laser cut it out.
