The more precision you can get on this part (and on the following part) the greater the final model will be.įourth, you have to put all the piece together in order to build the real life model. Third, you have to print, cut and score your 2D pieces in sheet material, in this case cardboard. Basically what this software allow you to unfold or decomposed your 3D model in 2D pieces with reference number. Second, you need to unfold the model in a software called Pepakura Designer. I prefer modeling myself because I can create it with the Pepakura part in mind. You can modelized yourself or take a model already made. I suggest that this model is under, let’s say, 400 polygons. I will assume here that you have a basic understanding of computer modeling.įirst, you must have a 3D model that you want create in real life. I’m glad that you are interested in my computer assisted technique mixed with pm clay. As you can tell from Simon’s post that it takes a lot of patience, but the result is worth it. Simon’s post was the inspiration for four of my own patterns for paper mache wall masks. Since he included a sentence written in French in one of his recent comments, I’m going to guess that Simon lives in France – I’m sure he’ll let us know if I guessed wrong… 🙂 Our friend Simon Doyon wrote this post about his process of creating paper mache masks beginning with the software program called Pepakura.
