Hey guys, I haven been thinking about some things to make the Pepakura way easier while keeping details.
From what I know there are 3 ways using Pepakura.
1. 1 big object. (everything paper)
2. 1 big object with cardboard as detail.
3. Like Lego, parts of the model split up in chambers or cubes.
(Thumbnails, click on the pic to see it larger.)
So from what I see, 3 might be easier to use. as in, you don't have many small edges and you and up with some sort of a checkpoint system.
(Like when you mess up 1 cube you don't ruin the whole model, just reprint what went wrong.)
You can even add custom parts to a model this way, just like Lego, you remove a few blocks and add other shaped blocks back. aslong they fit
The only downfall of this methode is that it takes more pages, and if not done correctly some parts won't fit.
(though adding a lil bit of space between 2 "cubes" should fix it, talking about when you model not pepakura.)
I'm not good at explaining things, however I'm working on a model at the moment using this methode. hopefully it can explain it better.
Tell me what you guys think about the methode, and feel free to ask.
