Tutorial Overview:

the second part of the Papercraft Tutorial
the major topic of this tutorial part is how to edit the mesh in the right way
creating new faces and removing the internal structure


Tutorial Overview:

as you may know
shit take long
and after the first poor and lazy try of a papercraft tutorial
i'm proudly present the second better version, where i'm gonna explain every single step what i do when i'm build a papermodel out of a 3d mesh

after meanwhile three years of papercrafting i still can say, it is one of the best hobbys i've ever had and with this little series i wanna show you
that it is not that hard as it looks
but also that there is much more work behind as you may know


About the Tutorial:
This tutorial is ground basic
specially the first part, where i am explaining the first steps in Metasequoia
what means, it counts for beginner and also professional 3d desinger
the only thing what you should have is some knowledge in papercrafting
where you start
what is possible to build
and what not

for this tutorial i'm using Metasequoia, a great freeware 3d editor what you can download "here"
if you are allready using an other programm like 3dsmax, Lightwave or Blender, you can of course use one of these
it doesn't matter because the method is the same

i also use Photoshop but every other image editor should do the same
the only thing what you have to purchase is the "Pepakura Desinger"
because only the Viewer is free

About the 3d models:
there are a lot of model sources out there
google is your best friend here
but i will NOT explain how to receive or where you can download 3d game models
that is not the meaning of this tutorial and here starts also the illegal part
why?
to recieve 3d meshes out of games, you have mostly break or rip them and you can imagine, the most developer don't really pleased by that

but as i said, google is your best friend here

ok then, enough talking
let's start with the first picture where Metasequoia is allready installed


Tutorial Overview:

Deadpool,Captain America, the Human Torch and Nightwing as chibi keychains.
When they commissioned them to me I was a bit uncertain as I never made similar characters in chibi style and I was not sure they could come out good. Anyhow I quite love how they came out, what do you think?
I'll make a chibi Iron Man and Loki keychains for me as soon as I have a bit of time..

Chibi keychain of Horo I made for a commission. I never watched this anime nor red this comic but I searched for some info and I'm getting interested in it for it's quite unusual setting. I'd like to watch some episodes!
This character is great, I did my best to reproduce the details of her outfit and I added an apple instead of the round charm.
This is one of the keychains that came out not so well in pics, in person she's cuter...

This was one of the character designs for a fantasy manga I was going to start with two other friends, but it never happened because that's impossible at this school. XD;; but, it will happen eventually (hopefully)
anyway, I inked this, and I started to color it but then I got scared and I decided to just leave it. ._.;;; so even if it's unfinished, I'll put it in one of my folders because I don't know if I'll ever finish it anyway. >.<;;;
