I'm the dumb mom that decided to wade into cosplay for the first time two weeks before Halloween to make my son a monster hunter costume.... AND YOU ARE SAVING MY LIFE. Working off an etsy pattern using Pepakura... just learned what that was yesterday and only AFTER buying the pattern, and was utterly lost. Your videos were the only ones I found that broke everything down so clearly and simply and didn't presume I would at least know x or y... cuz i don't lol. wasn't dumbed down, just clear and comprehensive for us dummies/newbies. again, THANK YOU.

Hello, is there a setting where I can see the folding degrees? For example, one side is slanted 20 degrees, the other side is slanted 35 degrees, but when I put it on paper, it looks straight. Can the program tell me how many degrees I need to fold?

since this is a very old video of mine, i no longer use pepakura. i use armorsmith, its vastly superior over pepakura for cosplay usage. in armorsmith you can recreate your own body on your armorsmtih avatar and then proceed to stretch, resize and reshape the armor to fit your exact bodypart. check it out in one of my videos or check out the armored garage youtube channel

Hi Wayne!!! Are you using a STL file? I am trying to convert stl file onto pepakura for some parts to make into eva foam... can we talk???
@WaynesWorkshop Жыл бұрын
never use STL files for pepakura, the STL is for 3dprinting so has a huge amount of polygons, way too much for a eva foam pepakura template. use low poly obj files (like models ripped from games) for pepakura.

@zombiekillingrl6 жыл бұрын
Just watched this and it answered a lot of my questions! But I do still have one more...(and it might be dumb) but I would be terrified of the foam breaking apart once the lines are cut to fold, and then not gluing back correctly (ending up in a lot of extra work) How is that fixed?
@WaynesWorkshop6 жыл бұрын
zombiekillingrl ehm I don't think I follow your question... Your worried your glued lines will rip apart? Contact glue is so strong that foam will rip first before the glued seam if done right 😁
@zombiekillingrl6 жыл бұрын
I knew I wouldn't word it correctly lol. I'm used to working with the paper part of pep building and I know when I use my blade to lightly go over the fold lines, if I press a bit too hard, I will cut it all the way instead of perforating the edges to fold. What I am asking is that if I cut too deep on thin foam if that is what I use, and it cuts all the way through the foam, will the edges still glue together correctly and come out right, or is it all in the way the blade is pointed? Since I see that foam files still have the dash and dot/dash lines as well. I hope I said it right this time. haha. I've just never used foam for building.
@WaynesWorkshop6 жыл бұрын
ah like that, well when i first started with foam i had this problem and i bought a 45 degree angle blade, you could cut perfect 45 degree angels with is but also set it to cut only 2mm deep, for example i have 5mm foam, set blade to 2 mm. it had a little base where the blade handle would rest on the foam, i believe foamwerks sells those now, mine was from x-acto. right now im so used to it i just eyeball it with my hobby knife

Hey there! I'm new at the scene of making props and stuff and I was going to get started by doing a HEV suit (Chestplate) from Half Life series. I'm a having a little troble at trying to understand how to make that usable in templates for foam and I can't still figure out what to do. I know you can simplify the templates so they work out as foam templates, I simply can understand and how to do it. Is there anybody who can help with my problem? Thanks
@leviathan_craftsman35695 жыл бұрын
Are you having trouble with extracting the model or creating a template in general?
@WaynesWorkshop5 жыл бұрын
Basically what you do is remove all pattern pieces that simulate thickness. As paper is flat, you need those "thickness" pieces, a unfold for foam is just that same pattern but those "thickness" pieces removed as you would use the thickness that foam already has
