RadioaciveMicrobe Nice name, and That's what my brother did

For scaling your armour, you're going to want to check out this thread:



How To Scale Your Armour-Tutorial



As for everything else, just read the stickies, and use the search function and you will be fine.



Good luck, and hope to see some progress soon.



Cheers!

Thanks.



And a topic about what? Scaling? There's multiple ones out there. I know of Xtreme TACTIC's and the stickied ones, but there are others I'm sure.



@CHASK: aren't scale and size the same?

 

[Dragonbone5]

There's the Tut.



Edit:

The scaling thread

 

[ODST CHASK]

ok i scaled it at 290mm that is from my chin to the top of my head with about an inch and ahalf of room is that to much or should i drop down to 280??



i used Xtreme TACTICS 101's method.

 

[Xtreme TACTICS 101]

I would drop down to 285mm.

 

[gingersnapples]

wow, thats alot of starwars. if i had a space cookie you would get one

 

[ODST CHASK]

kk yeah thats waht i was thinking i just now re-measured it felt like i would have some room to play with for foam to make it snug fitt! also.. do i print this file in designer?? or veiwer?? after i scale what are the final things i need to do in designer??

 

[Dragonbone5]

Unless you have a pin (or something) you can't save scaled pep files, you need to print In Pep designer

 

[Xtreme TACTICS 101]

You always, ALWAYS print from Desinger. Viewer has little to no use when it comes to scaling and printing a file.



After you adjust the scale, move the pieces around, and if needed, cut them or moddify the unfold to make each piece is inside of the dotted grey lines. Also make sure the printer paper settings are all correct. If you plan on printing using Leter paper, make sure you have Letter selected. Same goes with A4, and so on.



Also make sure you have it scaled right. Remember, measure twice, cut once. (or, in your case, measure twice, pep once.)



Good luck!

thanks a ton 101 ill deff pm you if i have any questions.. here is a screen shot just to see if i did it right.. also if things overlap or go off the dotted lines should i cram them all onto one page or move them to other pages??

 

[Xtreme TACTICS 101]

Yea, every part that is over lapping over an other part, or is off of the page (over a dotted line) either move to a new location on the same page ("shuffle" the parts of that page around to make them fit) or move that piece or pieces to a new page.

 

[ODST CHASK]

it looks like in my print scrreen that the peices are going to be small if i print them.... are you sure 285mm is a good scale?? it looks like in the 2d model just like it would print and be very small or am i wrong??

 

[Xtreme TACTICS 101]

It looks small, but its going to be perfact when your finished peping it.

 

[ODST CHASK]

kk its printed ill post progress later tonite!!

 

[ODST CHASK]

i have one more question actually i dont think i got it right when i print it.. it says that "the printer paper size is not scared to the design size do i want to scale it?" what do i click yes or no?? when i click yes it looks like everything chages

 

[ODST CHASK]
