I apologize if this isn't the right section but I figured since the pep sticky is here it was worth a shot.
I read the entire pep sticky and most other posts I could find, however those all have to do with actual construction and I have a couple of software questions that I have not been able to find the answers to through a search or on the tamakura software qna page.
Please bare with me and if you need to move this post, feel free. I posted this in the pep sticky but I guess noone looks there much.
Here goes
Firstly, thank you everyone for sharing so much knowledge and experience.
I have gone through this whole post, all the tutorials and I still have a couple of questions- but I have questions about the 3d files.
I am currently in the process of deciding wether to spend copious number of hours learning blender and creating my own 3d file of the armor I want to make ( Of course the character I chose has neither a pep file nor a 3d file out in the verse that I can find) or to pay someone I found on elance to create the 3d file for me.
If these questions are answered elsewhere feel free to point my ignorance in the right direction
The questions I have are
1- are there any specific parameters or tips that should be followed in the creation of the 3d file of the armor?
2- should the armor be scaled to my size in the 3d file or later in the pepakura software??
3- once the 3d file is imported to the pep software, will the software unfold the different pieces automatically or will I be doing that by hand??
