Tal,

Do you think your mesh would work on a 3D printer...like a V-Flash?

I didn't want to start another thread so please allow me to be so bold as to request something else here. Given it's Christmas it will surely take some time to make (or at all if you consider it to be too hard to make) but if you can spare the time and will could you please make a Timberwolf from the 3050 TRO



With polish Pantera camo as seen here?



If you could do one with Jade Falcon insignia on the sides of the cockpit, I'd be much obliged.

I didn't want to waste your time but the only papercraft Timberwolfs I saw were those from MW4 and I actually like the visuals of the TRO one much more.

they need to add a papermech forum

[pickledtezcat]

Hi, I have dozens of mech models, UV unwrapped and textured with an alpha channel.
I'm not a paper craft kind of guy, but the mechs are available if you want to convert them. Most of them would take some time to convert because they have lots of internal polys and other stuff which would need to be fixed.

Also they are all rigged so it would be possible to pose them before converting, to get more dynamic poses.
Anyway, just ask and I'll post them.

[Armored Yokai]

So you are willing to add your own blender battletech mechs for download

Wow. Thank you. Always looking for new models. Which do you have available? I know people would want the Urban mech and Jenner. So lets start there.

My second post...woohoo!!

I'd love to see a Crusader My all time favorite mech. I've got time on my hands, I'd love to build one or try to.

[Ogre Magi]

IF you are interested in Mech warrior papaer craft there is a fan site that has a large number of models.

check out Mechwarrior community project
http://www.mechwarri...wforum.php?f=38

I got several builds from them, even ran a few in a large scale event a GEN con a couple times. They have a active fan base and a large number of models check them out

It takes a little while to prep the right textures for the mechs, but for now here are some of the medium mechs:
http://www.mediafire...edium_mechs.zip

You'll need Blender to open the file, blender 2.6, the newest version should be fine. The textures are all packed in to the blend file, check the UV screen to find them, there may be some redundant textures, you'll want the .png files as theses are the ones with a working alpha channel.
I'm not sure how you will go about converting them to paper models, but you will probably have to do some conversion work to both the texture and geometry. If you have any luck, I'll post some more mechs.

[PelinalWhitestrake]

well im still looking for someone who could make that warhammer from the trailer

[Armored Yokai]

The skeleton is on the first layer, you need to parent one of the meshes to the skeleton first if you want to pose it. There are many layers, each one has a different mech on it.

[Armored Yokai]

how do i make it to one mech?

[pickledtezcat]

http://wiki.blender....vigating/Layers
gives some information about layers. If you select an object, press M to move it to another layer.
If you want to parent the mech to the skeleton, select the mech, then shift select the skeleton, then press Ctr-P.
It takes a bit of getting used to. You may want to just export the models to a program of your choice (once you find them using the layers buttons).

[Armored Yokai]

thanks now to apply the textures.....

[Strum Wealh]

Hello,

I was wondering:
1.) Does anyone know of a FOSS and/or Linux-friendly papercraft application?
2.) Would anyone be willing to make and upload a papercraft "Project Phoenix"-style Marauder?

[BLaaR]

Sorry, There is no PDO reader that I know of that does support PDO files.

If you have problems getting the plans, let me know, I can export them for you as BMP so that you can print and build the models. Only problem will be to figure out where the parts go. I suppose a couple of screen shots will help to figure out where they go

[Armored Yokai]

dont listen to blaar just yet theres always pepakura

Like I said, if you want exported BMP's let me know.

[rolling thunder]

Can i put in a request or two please? I'm a big fan boy of the new Marauder 2c Whizkids design so if it id possible to produce that it would be amazing.




Also ,would it be possible to make a Leopard Dropship & an Union Dropship in the same scale as the table top miniatures?
Union for referance
