Thanks for you message!

Sure thing! I am kind of busy with a new job, but I have evenings and weekends free to work on it, so no big deal. I don't have internet access at home so I'm not usually online until the weekends, but I'll send it to you as soon as it's done! You can e-mail me at moc.liamg|xofretoobeerF#moc.liamg|xofretoobeerF if you want a specific height/length, or just reply to this message. Otherwise I'll make something a little bigger than my own face as a sort of one-size-fits-all kind of thing.

Alternate Phanto mask

I came across your Phanto paper-craft template. I'm quite impressed with it, and I wanted to make a request. You see, I am a chiptune artist under the name Phanto Bro. I have been planning to do a live performance and want to wear a Phanto mask for show. I had been thinking about how to make said mask, and stumbled upon your work. However, I tend to use the 'Super Nintendo' version of the Phanto as a symbol, rather than the NES one. So, I was wondering if you could possibly make an alternate Phanto mask? I was wondering if it could be something like this:

Phanto

If you could possibly do this for me, I would be immensely grateful. However, I understand if you do not have enough time, since you have a long list of other projects you wish to fulfill. If you want to contact me, my e-mail address is phantobro @gmail.com

Thank you for your time.

What we need is some good old fashioned advertising and maybe some cooperation with other papercrafting communities.

Just curious if there would be any interest in a Steam community group for Paperworks. =)

This is also the thread to post other information about branching out into the online community.

My entry, sort of.

It's supposed to be a pumpkin. Didn't quite fold right, and it doesn't have a face, top or bottom. I Just wanted to get something in for the contest. I feel good now about my first ever pre-designed papercraft!

Hmm, sadly, I don't have a paper cutter readily available to do that. O well, looks like I'm going to have to hit up the local craft store for some paper and some of those strips for the little stars. Really want to make some of those.

I would assume bending ONE piece of paper like that, then just cutting the rest by using the folded one as a template would work.

I have a question about origami. I can't find my paper around, so what is a good way to create these square shaped origami ready papers? I resorted to just bending printer paper diagonally across and cutting. There an easier way?

I've made two things by hand. I tried putting together templates, but couldn't get the measurements right in Illustrator. My last model is about 85% finished, but I'm just too lazy to tweak the pieces that need to be shortened/lengthened. And by too lazy, I mean it's been over a year since I even opened the file.

I've got a notebook with a few models sketched, but I'm probably never going to get around to actually building the templates. I've got a Grim Reaper inspired by Death from The Hogfather, a "Thug", and a Rhino sort of patterned after the Rommy Sloth series. I've also got a cubee design waiting to be traced in Illustrator, but once again…Too damned lazy.

minor amounts like that don't matter… From what I figure, 1/8" is the finest detail you'll ever need to worry about because of the margin created by several factors- human error when assembling, and the size of the paper tab mixed with the radius of the fold (increased by the thickness of the paper). you'd be surprised at how much a model can expand or contract due to these little factors.

For the contest, I think I'm going to be taking the measurements I created in AutoCAD, and drawing it out on paper. Hopefully the little 1/100's of inches don't hurt me later.

I dunno, if you were to make something like this:

which i saw here

Its sorta what inspired me…plus, for some reason my combination of sketchup, pepakura, and fail leads me to lose vertexes or other weird shit.

I don't think I could handle designing by hand. I'm way too impatient. If it was a one time thing I could wing it to make something I wanted, but I couldn't design a template for others to use that wouldn't look cheap.

So, anyway, /pw/, how hard do you think it is to design something by hand? I mean, making Haruhi or a multi-dimentional curve may be hard, but if you are designing a building or other geometrically simple object, you could duke it out pencil and paper. All basic papercraft design really needs is polygons, arcs, circles, and frustums, with tabs. (And maybe textures). As I am more interested in making mechanical papercraft and skyscrapers and such than masks and anime figurines (I still love that stuff to death), I don't see why it would be a problem.

Considering writing a program to help draw out, texture, and print papercraft designed this way, IF I get less lazy (havent gotten 20% done with tutorials yet) and bother looking up the specifics of GUI's and all that fun stuff.

What do y'all think?

ah. Oh, hey, you're about as old as my little sister then. It still scares me that kids born your year are going to be on the roads very soon. I'm only 5 years olderm but still… I guess it's because of how I see my sister and her friends as being so young…

bah.

I'll try and get on PSN, I can help with bunker ;D

Hmm, I now have the same outfit as you. Was waiting for it for a while now. Stuck hopelessly on The Bunker, and I really want to finish the game. The numbers are actually birthday, so it's still not added for complexity, as it is for length. It is nice to be the only one to use this name anywhere, unlike the numerous Pvt. Parts you always see in every shooter.

nonsense, you're truly original if you're able to use the same name, since no one else has taken claim to it. Given, adding numbers adds to it's complexity, but still. We're good ;D
