I am not, however, a 3D programmer, and I would love your input on how this should be gone about. I'm a programmer, so don't tell me I don't know how hard this would be. I don't want to eradicate Pepakura armor entirely, but I'd like to make foam more prevalent by way of a sort of Pepakura for foam.
And, if you have a Craft ROBO, you can have it cut out automatically.įoam is at a disadvantage to the toxic insanity that is Pepakura. The problem is that Pepakura files have a whole program for scaling and printing. Sure, you can adapt Pepakura files to work with foam, but it's a painstaking process and you honestly have to buy a license to Pepakura Designer. With foam, you can make fantastic armor, but foam templates are exceedingly rare. Foam can look absolutely fantastic (see what I did there?). It looks better, it's easier to make, etc. Most of these problems are solved by foam armor. Should we really have to wear a respirator for a costume? Our awesome armor is made from paper and toxic chemicals? What? How is this efficient? How is this smart? We could easily kill ourselves trying to make a costume.
Expensive toxic chemicals meant for dent filling. Then we dump toxic chemicals on it until it's hard enough to pass as armor. Then, we print what we get from Pepakura onto cardstock and cut it out so we can glue it together. We make armor by use of a program meant for papercraft. To start, this forces us to look at our foundations here at the 405th. I did so badly that I'm emotionally scarred by my failure, and desire something better and something specifically geared for costuming. Hey there, I've been a lurker for a loooooong time here, and have even attempted (and failed pathetically) to build Pepakura armor.
