How do I convert the Elite model I extracted from Halo 2, via a map modding program, from .meta to something Pepakura can read?

Someone please post the answer...
 
Hey I have Auto desk 3D MAX. I also have downloaded the pdo files for pepakura.<mastercheifs armour>How do I convert the file so I can edit the 3D image in 3D max then send it over to pep for folding?It wont let me find/open any of the pdo stuff in 3d max or metasequoia.
 
i found it annoying that you can't extract the 3d files from .pdo too, cos the only H2 MC helmet i could find had the visor as a seperate object, meaning that if you pepakura it you have to judge where the visor will go by eye...
 
I have a mac, but...I'm new to it so I'll work with it, but I have to be honest, I probably won't be able to figure this out for you Ostrich.
Try to see if there's a pepakura mac forum out there.

Google is your friend ;-)
 
OK, I have a question: what would be a better thing to reinforce my Pepakura templates with, cardboard or posterboard? And what would be the best store to buy resin? Do they sell it at Walmart?
 
ight i got 1, im goin to resin my armor 2morrow and im goin to put around 3 to 4 layers of resin on it,, how tough will it be, can it stand up to a normal beating like walkin around the house and it buimpin into walls or wat,,,,, how much can it go through , its 110lbs cardstock?

Hi,
I am wondering how pepakura handles non-planar faces. I want to build a model with metal sheets that can't be bent. Do I have to triangulate the whole model to be sure that all faces are flat ? Is there an other way ?

Thanks in advance,

Vincent
