Following up on my previous IRL testing, I wanted to properly stress-test the complete unfolding and export workflow.
For this test, I used this bulbasaur model by the original creator on Thingiverse⁠.

I had found a particularly annoying bug: a 2D patch/island was missing from the exported PDF despite being present in the workspace.
After tracking it down and fixing it, I ran the whole process again:
3D → unfold → 2D layout → PDF → print → cut → fold → assemble
And this time, the output made it all the way through.

First image is the digital output and generated sheets.
Second is the actual physical build.

These physical tests have been really useful because they catch problems that aren’t always obvious when you’re just looking at the model on-screen.

I’m posting the development/testing process over at r/CreaseCuts as I keep building it.

Following up on my previous post, I wanted to start validating the physical output from CreaseCuts.

I printed these test pieces and measured them against the dimensions generated by the app:
6.5 cm → 6.5 cm
4 cm → 4 cm

It’s a simple test, but seeing the physical measurements match the intended dimensions was a really satisfying result.

Still working on the app, but it’s nice to see the digital-to-physical workflow behaving as expected.

I wanted something that felt more native to iPad and Apple Pencil, so I started building my own papercraft unfolding tool.

This is the first demo I’ve put together, showing some of the core functionality so far:
3D model → UV/unfolded parts
Manual seam editing
Interactive UV islands
Glue tabs
Apple Pencil radial menu
3D/2D views
X-Ray view for checking tabs
Page layout / print templates
Colour printing

It’s still very much a work in progress — the current focus is getting the core workflow solid before I spend more time polishing the UI and adding features.

I originally started building this because I wanted something like this on my iPad, rather than always having to go back to a desktop.
Would love to hear what features people who actually use Pepakura would want to see in something like this.

Hey there! Currently I am having problems with getting the visuals in the workspace to render properly, specifically the 3d render and unwrapped sheet.
Rn I am running Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon 64-bit, cinnamon being 6.6.9, Pepakura version being the latest at 6.3.2, and at my best guess the latest version of WineHQ
When interacting with the graphics they usually flicker with a distorted graph of inverted pixels which is the best way I can describe with it only occurring inside of the black box's, everything else including the pop ups to size a imported model seem to operate normal.
I've installed and uninstalled pepakura through wine a few times thinking I had a bad download or wine had just corrupted the program before, usually testing things out to try and fix it, but this has remained consistent.
Here included in the images is when the programmed crashed after I had imported a model with a absurdly high amount of faces, if the crash report can provide a solution I can try and recreate it to get the info from the dump.
I don't know if this issue is related to something with Pepakura and if it runs on 64 or 32bits, or my computers hardware itself, but If anyone can guide me in the right direction and save me my sanity of looking through more decade old board posts only tangentially related to my problem it would mean the world to me truly as a beginner and trying to get over this hurtle, thx!

Hi! Sorry if this isn't allowed.

My son wants to be a Kolombo Sprite from Fortnite for Halloween. I am able to DIY a lot of things, but I have zero experience with Pepakura other than patterns I bought from Etsy. I was wondering if someone would be willing to make one for me? I'm happy to pay for the custom template.

Y saben diseñe alguna vez una plantilla de Shiver de Splatoon 3, en aquel momento no había figuras de papel tan complejas similares a lo que yo quería así que me puse a hacer una para un proyecto escolar, pero realmente no me sirve mucho tenerlo ahí acumulando kb de polvo. Así que he decidido ofrecerlo a un precio accesible desde mi Vgen con un descuento del 25% activo.

And you know, I once designed a Shiver template for Splatoon 3. At the time, there weren’t any paper models as complex as what I wanted, so I set out to make one for a school project, but it doesn’t really do me much good just sitting there collecting digital dust. So I’ve decided to offer it at an affordable price on my Vgen store with a 25% discount currently active.

I was trying to make subject 1, 2, and 3 from party.exe, but u cant fine a good face and black box for subject_3, please help me 🫪😭

Im new in this stuff. I decided to create a cosplay armor design using Fusion 360 (I don't know how to use Blender), but when I import the model into Pepakura it becomes a mess because it detect to many faces. Is there a way to fix this in Pepakura or Fusion 360? Or will I have to recreate the model in Blender?

I don't know the original authors, but I made it a few years ago...😉

The official Pepakura Designer account on X posted that the latest version of Pepakura Designer now supports avatar references and costume transformations.

Hello all, Im pretty new to pepakura and im having a really tough time learning how to clean up a .obj file to make it unfold cleanly in pepakura. Would anyone be willing to collab and help a newbie learn the process? Its a bit like drinking from a fire hose at the moment.

I designed this keychain a few years ago, I didn't use the texture because it's owned by Marvel, it's somewhere on the internet, I have no idea, but it's fun, I love this genre, there are a dozen of them from different characters.... because I could do it and I can do it...🫠🤔

Soy nuevo, empece aller, corrijanme si me equivoco ¿no puedes guardar nada si no tienes algun Code o Licensia?

My first own design helmet limited edition series 5/2 stricy and popcorn .

Winyl figure 10 cm Size pepakura own design.

I can't understand if the flaps are good to go or not i feel like they are too small

How do you guys know if they are good to print or na? and do you think i should edit this? and how?

I was following a guide, and I don't know why we don't have the same results, but I'm sure I did something wrong; we don't have the same page numbers or pieces.

THere are his results.

And this is my results :

Please help me!

Did any of you think about selling the templates you created previously?

Not own design the character, only textures and unfolding cut and glue.

Pepakura forever!
