Paper Battlestar?

Hiya...trying to figure out how to download a 3D image of a Battlestar into "Anim8tor", then send it to "Pepakure" to unfold the image, then print it out and buildit...any helpful suggestions?

Can't help you but the idea sounds very interesting, good luck and share when you do find a solution.

If you're still interested in the topic...here is a great program for "un-folding" 3D onto 2D.

The only problem is that is is for the Mac, and if you are a Windoz user you need an emulator.

There's already a battlestar paper model out there for free download if you want one.

I've built one and it's pretty detailed, for being made out of paper that is. Is yours bigger and more detailed?

If so, are you going to share it as I'm a paper model lover. I'm currently working on the Delorean time machine from BTTF.

Cheers.
