I finished my first model whose template i designed myself today, which was a bit of a learning curve lmao but also quite fun.
the model is marian hawke from dragon age 2

Wow!! .Great, please disregard the P.M.'s, I didn't see this thread. Great design. I think figurines are the hardest to design. This came out really good. I will be approving your gallery pics in around 5 minutes. :)
 
HOLY MOLY, this is impressive!!! Great work on the figure. How did you design it?
 
thanks, i got a 3d model that was extracted from the game and then simplified it in blender and then made the template, it took me a couple of months of working on it and then rage quitting though
 
We definitely could use a good tutorial written up for Blender. Such a thread would be archived and made available as a download for future reference!
 
man, that just blows door off everything !! I would love to design an ultra-man model like that!! great job!!
 
How did you get that far!! If I could get that far I might try it again, for now it's Rhino 5.0 for me. ;)
 
i just keep merging all of the vertices to simplify it so it ends up in a pattern that will be good for a template and then keep exporting it into pepakura designer to make sure that the template is all ok. it take a long time and it is pretty repetitive but it gets the job done
i have started fixing the texture now

What other formats does Blender export to?
 
Wow, you are doing great! My first (and only) weapon of choice is SketchUp. It is simple (and sometimes nerve-wracking when it comes to rounded shapes) but it does its job. :)

it exports to .dae .bvh .ply .stl .3dx .fbx .obj .x3d
thank you, i tried to use that when i first started but didnt really get the hang of it (i might have been a bit overambitious though and tried to make a 3d model of a drd without knowing anything about 3d models)
 
I am no where near as experienced in graphic design as the rest of you on this thread, but in my VERY limited experience with SketchUp, I like SU8 better than the new version......... Much simpler to use, IMO .........:)

Respect to you guys that can do this sort of work......:bowdown:

I love building your designs too....... ;)
 
SU8 and SU6 are essential for papercrafting: SU8 works smoother and has better plugins, SU6 is needed to export the model into *.kmz(4) format for Pepakura unfolding. ;)
 
The hand of an artist!! If you posted that big enough, I'd use it as a background for my Desktop!! It's kind of awesome, those heads on a nice looking hand, incredible juxtaposition! :)

I can work with .Obj and .stl files directly, if you ever wanted to share ideas. I can export to those formats as well. :)

Get away from using tabs and make the lines on the face glue edge to edge, use a glued up strip of paper on the backside, and the face will not only smooth out incredibly, but if you use a glue like "ZIP DRY", you will be able to go go in there with a round object and smooth on the heads and give them a more organic feel. You can glue glass to leather with this stuff, and it's non toxic and lignin free (will not yellow). I get if from Micheal's Craft Stores. Not sure where you are from, but their all over the U.S.. My 2 cents worth. ;)

In regards to "How did You get that far, if you could show how to make simple shapes, that would be an incredible start. I don't understand how you get the depth and UV Mapping. I am not oblivious, as I have designed some stuff, it is just from a more industrial background as I used to make helicopter and aerospace project parts. This thing even has innards!! :)
