While in college I had made a high resolution model of the VF-2SS from the anime Macross II. I decided to make a papercraft representation by creating a reduced version of the mesh. I cut the UV's so that there would be no distortions in area or angle, then baked the textures and details from the high res to the low res mesh. These textures could then be printed out and folded to recreate the model in the real world.The canopy was created by pulling a piece of heated plastic over a mold I created.Modeled in Blender 2.49bInitial textures painted using Luxology Modo 302Final textures baked using Blender 2.49b
