Nick's Ultra-Hd Mk6 Shin Pep File

#1

Greetings all!

A bit ago, after I learned (which I guess is old news) that you could export OBJs in Pep Designer 3, I started messing with crackhead09's HD shin file, adding some detail, changing a bit here and there.

Well I got his permission to release the modified file. (Thanks crackhead!) After a few obstacles in Maya, it's here!

Unfolded by Ral Partha, 37cm build height

(Just FYI, I was having issues, and asked for help, which is what the next few posts are referring to.)

I'll give that a shot, but those faces that are giving me trouble were fine in crackhead's model, and I never flipped or modified them. But I'll give it a look-see when I get back to my computer.

Looks like you have some inversed face's. Does maya have an option to flip them? In 3ds Max you can just select that face and choose flip, and you can turn backfaces off (so you can see the gaps in the 3d view).

Or perhaps you have a corrupted/old exporter module?

WOW! I wish I had these shins a month ago. I was just going to go bondo up the details on the HD shins I currently have but after seeing this I really feel like rebuilding mines now. *Looks to see how much cardstock I have left*

Hey all, thanks for the kind words. This is my first pep model. Really awesome to hear you like it.

Many thanks, again, go to Crackhead09 for permission to use his file as a starting point.

Just wanted to let you all know the planned release date is this Saturday. I did some work the past few nights, fixed some goofy faces that were giving me trouble unfolding, added some optional floating details, etc. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! It would be out sooner, but I am working two doubles in a row, today and tomorrow, so it has to be Saturday.

See you then!

Hey all. So here's the file. Not COMPLETELY to the unfolded point I wanted it to be, but nicely(?) separated nonetheless.

I have to get to work... But I know I promised it'd be uploaded today. I'll improve the layout of pieces and reup later.

But for those that can't wait any longer... Here's the final version.

I just printed these out to my scale. I love how the valley folds and mountain folds are already color coded, saves me a lot of time because I usually go in there with my red and blue pencils and mark them all. I'm going to go at it tomorrow with the cutting and folding process, I'll post pics soon! Thanks again!

Edit: I've pepped my first shin! I took pictures so if you want to see how it looks in the real world compared with the old one here ya go I definitely like these new ones better. They dont look so fat from the front view and the details are way more accurate, I'll be building my 2nd one immediately! Oh and I trimmed off the bottom, it was never going to fit otherwise, I had to do it to the old one too. The only thing I think that has to be changed about it is the tabs that you have to fold. They are tiny compared to all the other pep models I've went through, after that Super HD Assault Rifle though anything is easier xD
