Paper Terrain *Complete but WIP*

[Sangennaru]

That's my first experiment with paper terrain. I tried to imitate the style of Borderlands and Borderlands 2, and i'm rather happy of the first humble result for this concrete block, after half an hour (or more?) of photoshop:





I used pepakura (http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/) to convert the mesh and the hand drawn texture into a foldable image:



I'm not sure i will build a whole set with this, i'm already busy sculpting real stuff... but I think it was worth sharing!

comments are welcome!

Very good! I also use Pepakura, good program. Just remember to watch closely where you put the tabs. A "lid" should never have any flaps, for example.

thanks for the suggestion, i'm completely noob in this field, but i'm liking what came out from the photoshop

[FramFramson]

I like the more stylized appearance. Works very well with paper terrain, I think.

[Ssendam]

Excellent idea; very well executed.

[Sangennaru]

Some more elaborated terrain now: a column. The geometry is now a bit more elaborated, and the style also changed, following some great tutorials online!



And, thanks again to pepakura, that's the foldable print:



any suggestion? =)

[Cherno]

Great improvememnt and excellent result.

[Sangennaru]

Thanks Cherno! I'll now try to change the color or maybe remove some bumps, just to have more variety in the model!

[Sangennaru]

I've just played with the photoshop colours... not a really thought job, but still that's nice!



cheers,
Jack

[FramFramson]

Wow, great!

[Sangennaru]

Aaand, the first piece is assembled!







Soon i'll do the others. Hopefully.

Good, clean results. Some white showing where the printed layer broke, but that's a neccessary evil that I wasn't able to avoid either.

My own Pepakura efforts are in this thread:

Namely the street lights. they have magnets in their bases so they stick to the floor tiles (which also have magnets), maybe it's something you'd want to try out yourself

[Sangennaru]

I'm well aware of your paper scenery, and they are really awesome! I didn't know about the magnets, i suppose that migth be a brilliant solution!

I covered most of the white scratches with a black marker, but some were left, and the photo enhanced the effect... :S

This is excellent. I'm not a paper model creator, just a builder and I love these.
The column is excellent and you could do walls and doors to go with it.

[FramFramson]

Yes, Sangennaru has an excellent column in the paper.


 


I'll just be going now...
