Paper Models Programs

elcid1911 · April 12th, 2008, 01:28 AM

Hello. I created this thread so that everybody could share the program that uses to design paper models. There are several programs that can be used like the CorelDRAW, but normally they are very expensive and not everyone can afford it...

Try this link. It's a software program specifically for papercraft, called Pepakura Designer (currently version 2.1.7). I haven't tried it yet with skyscrapers but worth a look.

Google sketchup also helps for viewing the available building models from different angles.

I'm working on a building at the moment with pen and paper to start with, when i've got that right then I'll convert it in MS Paint I guess.

I use MS Paint, but if I had cash I would use CorelDRAW, it is much better...you got the scale right next to the model!!!

I use Google Sketchup,they start out as animated 3d models and I simply use the rotate tool
