Tutorial: How To Make Good Folds For Pepakura Armor
- Thread starter Iceman29

You know, just telling people to fold up or fold down is confusing because either way parts of the folded piece are going to end up down and some are going to end up, well, up. So it's not really the clearest way to explain things.
But it's actually really simple to explain and to execute. Just like TheBlue said...
Valley looks like this: V
Mountain looks like this: ^
Just remember, 'v' for valley and mountain folds look like a mountain.

Sorry Iceman, I was using the universal "you" instead of "one could" or something to that effect. I wasn't talking about you specifically. ;-)
ON TOPIC-
I've been a lazy bum on the last few pieces I've done and used a long (10-inch) sharp point bread knife to score my folds. It's straight as a ruler and not too sharp, plus it preserves my textures better. But the real reason I did it was because I could do it so much faster. It only took me 25 minutes to score all the polys on my ODST helm.
I would not recommend this at all to any pepakura beginner or anyone who has not spent a lot of time working with things like Exacto knives. I'm just saying it's what I did.
TALKIN" BOUT BAD FOR THE KIDS :christa:
I just think it might be a nice shortcut for any scratchbuilders or experienced propmakers who'd like to try pepakura but get it done a little faster.

Not be a jerk, but you guys need to read the stickied faqs. In Pepakura Designer, go to configuration, click on line style configuration, it tells you in there.
Stock settings here a -------- line is a mountain, fold it down so it forms the peak of the mountain. The other one -=-=-=-=- (not exactly as shown), is the valley line, fold it up so it forms the bottom of the valley.

You HAVE to look before asking. Otherwise your questions are annoyint to everyone. sorry, but it's true.
It's like being two feet away from your car, looking for it. The car is behind you, but you refuse to look back. You keep asking people where your car is and they say "behind you, man" and your like "how do I move my neck?"
Just don't do that.
