I see. You will very likely have to triangulate your model before exporting, if the exporter does not do that for you. Pepakura only works with polygon meshes or hard meshes, and not with nurbs or surfaces.

Check the 3DSOUT plugin, it´s a substitute for the former 3DS exporter. It was abandonded in favor of DWG and FBX, see this link how to export to 3DS from autocad 2008

tryed it yesterday, worked great.
thanks again for the help

Before applying fiberglass mat resin the inside and outside.

The easiest star wars pep helmet to start with in my opinion would be a fett helmet. Here you go Boba Fett Helmet.pdo - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
Let me know if you need any other files.

It's cool that so far, everyone seems to share so much. I've been on other forums of other subjects where all too often the attitude is; "get yer own".

True, its sad when others forget who their neighbors are or fail to recognize them altogether from ignorance or arrogance, or both and still neither. If anyone needs a hand just give me a holler and I will do what I can.

Re: The PEPAKURA question thread - READ FIRST POST before posting!

Is there anyone here who is willing to build a pep file by importing the model from a game for a fee?

I have somehting I need which I couldn't find anywhere...posted over at the 405th but no reply so far.

Send me a PM if anyone's interested...

Re: The PEPAKURA question thread - READ FIRST POST before posting!

I was thinking... does anyone have a youngling training helmet pep-file? That must be an "easy" first project also, the paper which one should use.. how stiff is it? Can you still use it in a home printer that "folds" the paper during printing. If you know what I mean.

I know where to get just the helmet you're looking for, I just haven't figured out a way to get it yet. When and if I get the helmet I'll let you know.

As for the paper, I recommend using 110 weight card stock
The card stock will print in normal printers depending on your paper size.

Re: The PEPAKURA question thread - READ FIRST POST before posting!

Ok, cool. So, is it A4 (don't know if you have the same names for 'em as we in Sweden) that you use for pepakura? (normal document size)

If you have an A4 printer you will use A4 size card stock. I use letter size, just make sure you have pepakura viewer or designer set to A4 under printer settings.

And you have to make sure that the document is not rescaled from letter format to DIN A4.

Well, I'll see what happens cause this is all new to me, and I am not sure of anything, yet

I modeled this a couple years ago, never got around to uploading it anywhere:
Youngling Helmet Final.pdo | Game Front

Here's what it looks like (those huge gaps are not in the model):

Modeled from these views (helmet is on backwards in the profile picture):

I did build it but I don't think I have any pictures. It went together pretty easily.

Simple and effective, thanks for sharing your model. I'm definitely adding it to my collection.

Re: The PEPAKURA question thread - READ FIRST POST before posting!

Hey all, Gotta question here and hope you can help please?.

Having watched a few youtube vids and read stuff on here I've done the whole Pepakura Iron Man helmet which didn't turn out right but never mind lol.

I've built the Green Ranger (Power Ranger Helmet) and have now tried to use some Jesmonite AC100 on the outside to strengthen and was going to work from ther but having mixed to the 2,5 to 1 ratio i.e 100 grams powder to 40 grams liquid I find it to be quite gritty like poly filler and cures really quickly!!!!...I know I could use less catalist to slow cureing time but just wanted to know what you guys think?

Is this sort of thing normal as I was hoping for a smooth coat in one go like fiberglass resin lol.

I do have the fiberglass tissue so had considered strengthening the inside with 1 coat of Jesmonite then a coat of jesmonite with the fiberglass tissue but decided to try the outside first...grrrrrrr.

Total novice learning from my own mistakes lol.
