Got Paper?

A quick test..
I recently bought a nice new printer, and figured it might be nice to design a little Arcade cabinet thing. Bloody fiddly bastard! I didn't quite have the patience, so gave up trying!! If I'm honest, it'll probably fit together nicer if I didn't use such flimsy paper, and goopy glue, but.. What the hey! It almost worked, and future attempts should be marginally less crappy! Build Your OwnClick for ludicrous-size How I Created ItI used Sketch Up to design a simple white cabinet model, then Pepakira to "unfold" the model into a nice white paper-cut-out template. Next I recoloured all the faces, saved it as a png, and rewrote a fairly significant chunk of my Icon Resizer to take the logo, icon, and some screenshots, and then piece them all together around the cabinet, using the different coloured faces as guides. The image is then saved as a 3200x3200 pixel .png which you can simply print off, and then faff about with for FAR too long, trying to piece the thing together. Hopefully my next attempt comes out a little better!! I'll let you know. If you attempt to build the model, let me know! Send pics Views 38, Upvotes 5
