I have never done this papercraft thing. But I thought it's just a bunch of pdfs I can bring to my local copy shop to print in color on a thicker art paper. Dafuq is .pdo, .6kt.
>>
>>625515
PDO is a file format that opens in Pepakura, you can see where each piece of paper goes, fold lines, resize, etc.
>>
>>625515
6kt is a 3d format from an old japanese modelling program called "HexaGreat", a.k.a. "六角大王(Super6)".

also interested in "gunpa"
hope this helps

>>625500 (OP)
you really should just use printer paper if you're cheap, because whatever paper you used is gonna undermine your folds. other than that, nicely done! you even did the swell on top; it's such a simple step that adds so much but people usually seem to skip it!

The download includes both the Designer version and the Viewer version nowadays. Search Paper-Maker and you'll find a website where you can open PDO files in your browser without having to install anything. You will have to make an acoount I think.

Recently I got inspired by this guy who models their cosplays with cardboard and I got surprised by how good the round shapes ended up look like.
I only want to make a mask with round shapes but every tutorial I found uses straight strokes for the template and I want to know if I can find more information of how to do it the other way

The technical name for a shape that can be made from a flat plane via cutting, folding and bending but without stretching or compressing is a developable surface-

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developable_surface

Cylinders, cubes, pyramids and cones are basic examples, and with computers extremely complex shapes can be segmented and unfolded to create patterns for 3-D objects.

Curved creasing/folding (see pic) is another option that can develop amazing shapes with minimal cutting and assembly work

Hey /po/, I'm looking for good youtube channel recs to follow. I specially remember someone on here sharing their own channel and I found it kinda neat but couldn't find it ever again (it was something to do with their own personal collection of paper toys / scans). Post good youtube channels centered on papercrafts, origami, paper toys, dioramas etc and try to avoid any of that stupid kiddie shit please.

i like to draw playing cards folded in weird ways. but i just have to make up how it would look in my head, and guess. is there any origami that would be possible with a playing card? so that i could use it as an actual reference? that would be cool.


playing cards are typically 3½ × 2½ inches
>>
>>625182 (OP)
Actually folding a normal playing card into even some basic shapes would most likely be tough shit because they tend to be rather fat. But why not take inspiration from candy paper origamis, for example, the size is about right
>>
>>625183
i agree the fatness of cards is one of their great weaknesses.
>>
You could print a standard deck of playing cards on a thinner stock of paper, they must make printable origami paper. But yeah it would look awesome bro
>>
>>625185
i would definitely try printing on some plain white origami paper (even standard office paper might work), but would the print quality be as high as playing cards? in my experience even newer inkjet and laser printers have a fuzziness with finer details.
>>
>>625186
are your work going to be thoroughly examined by some fine-detail aficionados with magnifying glasses and tight asses? if not, modern printers can produce excellent quality and there is nothing to worry.
>fuzziness with finer details
bitch that is not a thing with modern printers, literally professional print shop quality that is more than fine for goofing around playing cards origami shapes and patterns

First, is there a commonly accepted file format for digital die cutting machines, like .stl files for 3D printers? Second, how likely would a local print shop be to have a machine that can use such files?
>>
>>625176 (OP)
Phone them and ask. Also try a local maker space.
>>
>>625176 (OP)
Cricuts and the like use .SVG files but you can upload jpeg images to them anyway. print and cutting is a thing too, print onto paper, machine cuts it
>>
Local scrapbook/card making shop probs have a cricut or the like.
>>
>>625176 (OP)
First off, die cutting is a mechanical stamping process that uses a die, Cricut and and equvalent pro grade cutting machines are known as knife plotters (but can draw with a pen too).

One of the main places you will find them is sign shops.
>>
i have one of those cameo3 machines and import them to sillouette studio, from illustrator on a dwg exported file.

working in separate layers for cut or crease help s lot.

same with laser cutting machines

Paying my sincerest gratitude to those dedicatied enough to create these amazing templates. Took an entire week, became my most badass room deco.
Any advice on how to expedite the process? Sitting like the hunchback of Notre Dame for 9 hours every day for 7 days is hella unhealthy.

Experience I guess.
I’m not sure I could do it now given how long it’s been since I built anything. But I built this Tyranitar at one point. It took me about 12 hours start to finish nonstop overnight. I did it to pass a lonely New Year’s Eve back in like 2008.

>>625105 (OP)
This looks fucking brutal. I'm not a regular on this board but this is AMAZING.
