Greetings Programs!...
I figured for my first topic I might as well post something usefull and well... here it is...
Was really amazed at the cards Thugzz Deluxxxe was creating and I thought I would give a try at my own version but in a way anyone here could do.
Now I didnt use pepakura, no rather I did this in paint. Now dont start picking on MS Paint, its the one program on this computer that I know how to use really well.
Ok, so onto the fun part... for referance material if you want your card to say something else, I went here UNSC Wiki and look under organization.
Step 1.
You'll need to download this file UNSC_ID_v3b_sliced or UNSC_ID_v4_sliced. Which I so graciusly made twice this morning cause my computer crashed... grr...
v3b
v4a
v4b
v4c
v4d
Step 2.
Go to http://goqr.me/ and add any data you wish to be on your card. For example, this is what I put in mine.
Step 3.
Open the ID card sliced file in paint or whichever similar program your perfer and fill in all the lines on bottom piece 2 in bold "Arial" size 20 and top and bottom piece 5 in Bold "Agency FB" size 24 with your info then when your done remove all the lines and extra wording.
Then open your QR code and paste it into the square shown on top piece number 2. Pay Very Close Attention, once your ready to print it, open the page setup and change the orientation to landscape, the file will want to print on 3 or 4 pages at 100% so change the scalling to 42% or "fit to: 1 of 1" which wil be about 42.5%. Now you can print... I used 110 cardstock for my card............ so go ahead already
...
Step 4.
Start cutting the pieces out and glueing them together. I used cyberbond super glue cause it sets slower then my normal stuff (Loctite super glue) and it feels solid like a rock, and flexes alot less then a normal ident card does. I only used 8 of the cards and I have plans to make the one with all 10 to see how that one feels but just 8 feels just fine, oh and just a hint the pink is material that needs removed before glueing.
If your havinge trouble coming up with a CIN number keep in mind there isnt enough info on the web about these to really matter whats there so long as its 5 numbers - 3numbers, two letters, 5 numbers, so you could do what I did.
My number is 02535-084CF01989, now if I break it up and explin it 02535 is the hypothetical year I joined the UNSC, 084 is the julian day I was born, CF being my first and last initial which also seems to be what Key's is like in his terminal from aniversary, and 01989 was the year I was really born. Just a thought though, I'll leave you the freedom to be creative.

Go to http://goqr.me/ and add any data you wish to be on your card. For example, this is what I put in mine.
Now once you have entered everything you want, download the QR code at 150x150 pixals. Oh, and yes at the size this is when printed my phone does detect it and display everything I posted there.
