Ok so I'm not completely new to building my own costumes. However, this project I'm working on is going to be my first Full size armour suit. I'm making a costume of a game character I would like to wear to AU PAX next year. I have 12 months to work on my project. Now this is my dilemma.
I'm currently using pepakura to unfold my 3d model which I have. However I have never delt with something of this size. Now I am unable to figure out how exactly to take small pieces of the 3d model and make it it's own pepakura file. For example:
I would like to break up the 3d model into a couple of different main pieces, helmet, chest plate, boots, etc.
I would basically like to copy and paste over the pieces but I don't know how to currently do that.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Or should I separate the 3D model in my modeling software and open each piece separately?
