This may be the weirdest thing I have ever asked on here, but here it goes. As many may know, there is a blender importer for PA models, since I do not have blender and would most likely be a super noob at it, I was wondering if someone could bring the Aeson commander model into blender and then, take him apart per say.... I am not sure, but is there a way to see all the parts and shapes that make him up, like papercraft? If so, could you please post a picture. I would then use that to make a plush Aeson! I know this is something big to ask for and is also kind of weird, no one has to do it, I was just wondering because I do not have or know how to use blender.
Well, you do know that Blender is free, eh? https://www.blender.org/ Other than that, I can't help you much, but at least you can mess around with it.
I've used blender a bit in the past but I'm still very much a beginner, I do remember UV-maps giving this cut-out of an object, so you might want to look into that. There's several methods to do it such as using seams, and you can even do partial cut outs. I'm just not sure if the dimensions that the UV-map produces are 1:1 with the actual model.
Well, the main reason I ask is because, I don't think my laptop can run blender without lots of lag and slow down problems. I don't have a good graphics chip ( HD Graphics 4000).
Oh, don't worry about that. Blender works perfectly fine on a HD4000. It's just a modelling program. I have an HD4000 as well. Well, I also have a dedicated NVidia, but I don't even bother running Blender on that. It really doesn't need a lot. Certainly not for PA models, which are pretty basic, considering that you have to have thousands of those on-screen during PA games.
Hello, Along with Blender have a look at http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/ thats just the ticket for making your patterns.
Thanks everyone! This may be an April break/ summer break project. I might post later on it. not sure.
I can't find a download link to the exporter, only the post where it is mentioned. EDIT: Never mind, think I found it
