Dual Twister Ramp + (Design)

This is the last design of a DTR.  I add 3 levels between the floor and ceiling. This levels are interconnected with this two ramps.

This is the video of the last design of the Twister Dual Ramp +:

Super Mario (Design)

Now it’s time is a classic character, this is Super Mario, in the version used in the Nintendo Wii game consoles.I first began to document with pictures I found on Google. Since I have extensive experience in 3D design from Metasequoia, I chose a symmetrical and there is also another view of the drawing, which in this case was a side view.These are the pictures chosen and although the image from the side view is not 100% fit with the image of the front view, is a good reference to achieve the approximate volume. 

The following images are renders made from Metasequoia, which shows the dimensions achieved in 3D based on 2D views and different views on the design of the finished model.

The following video shows some details of the design in 3D from Metasequoia.

With 3D design, made in Metasequoia, load it in Pepakura to unfold the design and to design templates, ordering all parties and grouped by color.

The following file is the template group in both color and black and white:

Original file format is PDO, can be downloaded from the following link: Smario01B.pdo(zip file).

Following video shows how the pieces fit together, from different parts of the model of Super Mario in Pepakura software.

Now is time to bring the colored paper to print the template group and then cut, foldand glue and create the papercraft design model of Super Mario.

World Gear (Design)

This desing is based in papercraft gear esphere and gears heart (see the links).

They can also watch channels each author on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/glue2chronicle and http://www.youtube.com/user/girigiriou.

The following images are Renders made from Metasequoia:

This is an animated gif:

The following video shows the different parts of the design of World Gear:

Well, it’s time to work on Pepakura templates for the design papercraft model of World Gear.

Hello Kitty (Design)

This is the design of Hello Kitty 3D (Metasequoia) based on 2D drawing below:

The next picture is a render from Metasequoia:

The following video shows the various parts and angles of 3D design:

Now it’s time to create design based on Metasequoia, the templates for the papercraft model from Pepakura.

This is the template of Hello Kitty from Pepakura Model (29 cm high) in PDF format (Includes Black & Color versions):

This is the original file in pdo (Pepakura): Hello Kitty.pdo (ZIP file)

The following video shows the location of each piece in relation to the 3D model, seen in Pepakura:

Well, the next step is to print, cut, fold and glue to create the papercraft model …

Lego Man (Design)

I like the Lego toys, so I decided to make a model in Metasequoia.

My young son asked me to have a helmet.

This is a render picture:

But the 3D model was not enough, it’s time to make templates in Pepakura to give volume to the design.

This is the face template:

This is the template in PDF format:

This is the format version PDO: LM.rar (Rar file)

This video is an exploration of design from Metasequoia:

Dual Twister Ramp (Design)

My first test design, in Metasequoia, is this twister ramp:

This design has four laps on a track. See the photo showing the different views in Metasequoia:

This is a animated GIF of the twister ramp:

This is a video of the twister ramp:

And this video with cars…

The problem with this design is that it only has a route entry or exit. I got the idea of crossing two ramps and this is the preliminary result:

This design is a bit loaded, so to simplify the two ramps, four laps in two rounds each.This is the final design of the Twister Dual Ramp:

See the next animated GIF:

This is the video of the final design of the Twister Dual Ramp:

This is some pictures  (renders) of the design:

This design has two laps on two track. See the photo showing the different views in Metasequoia:
