Copy all the list and paste the list or script on a notepad and save it as boat.obj. MAXListener window will open with a list of number, they are coordinates of dots that build up your 3d boat. Wait for a while the computer run the script then in top menu click again MAXScript - MAXScript Listener or F11. The script is gmax2obj, In Gmax : in top menu - MAXScript - Run Script. Make sure you already have the Max Script file that I share in the Introduction.

Material will be drawn in Inkscape so we will have vector image in PDF like all models in Paper Replika.

Many papercraft creators that are using Pepakura, add material first before unfolding the 3d model, but Paper Replika will add the color or material later after all parts are unfolded. By doing this we will have normal 3d XYZ orientation imported in Pepakura. We have to do this because there is a different XYZ orientation in OBJ file and while in pepakura. In Gmax rotate the boat -90 degree on the red arrow axis (X Axis) like shown in the image below. WeвЂ™re going to use a Max Script to convert our 3d boat into OBJ file, which is one of pepakura known format. But we are using Gmax, and that is a free version dedicated to edit a 3d game model, its format doesnвЂ™t have any compatible software. This site is kinda the Wikipedia of Pokmon if you're looking for info on a Pokmon, search no further. He also has some Star Trek models, along with Tomb Raider and Advance Wars papercrafts. Actually it is very easy to export a 3d work to pepakura known format, if you have 3D Studio Max, all you have to do is just exporting it to 3DS. Ninjatoes is a Dutch designer who made many Nintendo Papercrafts. I already complete that 3d boat, all is made in Gmax.

I will continue the rest of the modeling tutorial eventually, but it might be better if I skip it to how to export our 3d work into pepakura 3d designer known format for a while.

Exporting 3D model into OBJ file Ok, looks like we have been dragging on how to modeling 3d object for quite sometime.
