this dood is amazing he models stuff from the movie aliens in , unfolds them with the plugin,textures them with and print them out...after some cutting and glueing hes getting this:
















OMJ! ITS TEH





TEH LINK!
you can download them from there and do them yourself

HAHAH

THIS man should be president 8)

Oh my a pulse rifle!

Fox must be after him!

btw: the site doesn't work in firefox

that's just awesome !

I don't think the guy really appreciates that you have directly linked those pictures from his web page. Hope we are not screwing that guys bandwith ;<

wraa i can model stuff with autocad

(i got an A for my autocad test)

>_<

Thats awsome. Im too lazy though

oh my....
he must have too much free time...

I wish to have LMG like that

I saw that done a few years ago with thw Quake 3 Rocket launcher, still good stuff tho.

Cool

I still want a 3d printer though

PPFFFFT!

Star Trek REPLICATORS for the real win!

HMG, Loaded!

its nice and all... but that guy really needs to find himself a new hobby D:

i have autodesk inventor, is there a plugin for that that'll unwrap em? ^__^ i found a freeware program that'll make em too, but because of the triangle polys, it kinda rapes the model when you make the foldable design, it sucks because i'd like to have paper-prototypes of my models.

I wish 3D printers were cheaper, those things cost millions. As for this, somebody make a gorgie

i thought the M41A was real >.<

hehe airsofts are great.

I'm guesing i'm a bonified geek now?


only started, mind you. i should have used cardstock, but i have none...

Pure r0x

The man is a genius.

lmao... geek indeed bashh... what model is that?
interesting though... ya big geek
but its a good thing...

Mm... what IS cardstock anyway?

I might just use like, thin cardboard or posterboard or something 0o'

or maybe plain paper... I have a photoprinter so

I don't have to buy a 3d printer, I can just suck up to sheena and maybe she'll hook me up

nah, probably not, lol

Which is why I use a straight-printer... I may have to toss some of these through on 120# press, or outright Bristol.

Hell, if you printed them on tracing paper, you could probably do one out of thin aluminum with a pair of tinsnips, a dremel, or a rotozip. Burnish, paint, make a few bits out of thin (or heat-softened thicker) plastic, and you've got a perfect Hallowe'en prop with the addition of a few glued-in washers or weights to add heft. Maybe toss in some foam latex as well to improve structural stability.

nice description del, you could have just said it's thick paper used for making cards on your computer ^__^

and that's the m41-a1 from aliens, the one you see the guy holding

I have made an M41A months ago.
Just needs a few tweaks and better anims.

lol, i dont have a l337 enough ink cartridge

agreed that that is an awesome idea, but i've only printed out the blue pieces (not actually blue) and there're three more sections, and i still have a billion of the blue pieces left! hell this is hard enough with paper, i'd be insanly hard with tin.... i migh do it if i get enough, because this takes 30 sheets of paper... i've only printed out 12 so far...

and i have my print quality on quick so i dont use up all the ink ^__^ otherwise my printer would die

I'm waiting for his Smartgun kit.


I ended up just taking a disc of the images to a print shop and using the Force to get them to print em out for me. Sweeet.


Also a lot of stuff by other people, eg Miranda class Star Trek ships, the Botany Bay, etc etc etc etc.









So, who's the first to make the NS LMG and Pistol?

oooh the ns pistol would be so cool to have

how how sweet would it be, if you molded the paper over a block of wood voila SOLID gun!

pff, ill go find some card and make a gorge

he is just theoretically making UVW maps... skinning them, printing, and un-UVW mapping...


lol GO GO MAGIC COOKIE!!!

sheena, don't you think this is a good time to make a paper Tachikoma from your model?

Nah, it'd be too complicated XD

But honestly, that stuff rocks. Anybody up for actually doing that with the LMG?

i have an idea! LETS GO RAID A COMPANY WAREHOUSE AND GRAB US A 3D PRINTER AND INVADE VALVE FOR COPIES OF HL2!!

It IS just a UV mapper with little taggy bits on.

So again, who's going to be first to unwrap all the NS gear so we can become the PAPER MARINE ARMY!! SPAM THOSE MEDPACKS!

unfold me a plush gorgie!!!!
tenkai for great for skinmeshing.

and it really helps my with my plans of a lifesize fade halloween costume.

lol, or all the people of ns pitch in a dollar and we all buy a 3d printer and print an onos!

wee got the blue peices together!
only 120937134059786 more to go!

i'da done more but i've been playing with this piece lol. oh and i only did one of those bolts up there, it was WAY too complicated, so the other three are still white w/red x's

oh, mag actually comes out btw

the only place im printin dis ish out is at work ^_^ HIGH QUALITY PRINTS! can i get a copy of the cut outs?
