So the only limitation you have is Pepakura designer: in the version you can download and try out, it’s not possible to “Save” and “Export”. But I found that it’s possible to print, so a legal way to export what you have build in Pepakura is PDF. This has of course some limitations, and the biggest one is you are not able to save you changes (which you can unlock for a lousy US$38). Lets make a text logo and I really want to use the logo I made a while back, but I realize that’s not for everybody….So lets make a logo out of freeware fonts, and find a font suitable for what I want. I want to make a 3d version of mck and because I know how difficult it is to create round corners (“c”) I am looking for a bold/stong blocky font. We could make a complete text logo, but when I started writing this tutorial I found out that with more then one letter, it started to be quite complex.

Oke lets see what Pepakura does with this simple example: press “unfold’ Open the character.kmz file you just saved on you’re hard drive If you’ve done what I asked, you have Pepakura installed (and if not, now is the time). jadajada, you know what to do: Press file – print Make sure that you change the default print setting, this will improve the quality of your print and makes it possible to import in Illustrator. Grab you’re glue and scissors and start building. (Perhaps Inkscape will work too, but I don’t have that installed) This is for people who want to “export” the papermodel/papercraft to a file and modify it in a vector program like Illustrator. Instead of printing the model to paper, you can print it to.

And this file is easy to import in Illustrator. The only thing that you have to do is install: PDFCreator.

This program is opensource (doesn’t cost anything) and works the same as your printer. Instead of printing to a printer, which is connected to you computer or network, you print to PDFCreator. And this will create a PDF for you on you’re computer.Pepakura is a handy tool to add to your cosplay arsenal.
