Hi all

I use coreldraw and 3D max to make paper model. 3D max is for designing the plan and added texture with coreldraw. I dont understand how to use pepakura.

my work

I've been using paint.net (free online) and now starting to utilize Siatki 3.2 ( cost me only about $66USD and where all you have to do is input the measurements you want to work with for a cube, sphere, pyramid, whatever, and it shows you what the object will look like and then unfolds it for you) for more rounded and complicated objects.

Where to find them:

paint.net:

Paint.NET - Free Software for Digital Photo Editing

Siatki 3.2:

Downloads

I've found both to be very intuitive and easy to learn!

I use Illustrator CS2 with the Cad Tools plug-in and Photoshop CS. My choice was simple they were supplied with a company laptop. I have used CorelDraw several years ago and at that time preferred it over Illustrator. I think the best software is the one that you know the best and therefore can get a project finished quickly.

Definitely with that! I've been struggling with Blender for more than one year and haven't managed to produce a single model from it, while with Rhino I can design models like a production line...

I use DeltaCad for my papermodels, it has excellent shape/color features that I like, autocad doesnt do so well with solids and colors.

If you want to make a paper model with out paying I recomend using Google SketchUp and Pepakura of course.
Its simple to use.
You just make the model and then file ->export and export it in kzm format(Google Earth 4). Put it in Pepakura unfold and make some modifications and your done
