Oh, where have I been...

When was the last time I even thought about papercrafting?
My friend's birthday passed, and I never finished his "treasure".
What's worse is the file I was using as reference is lost on a computer that no longer starts up. I guess I'm going to have to find a way to get it back. All the models I ripped are also stored on that computer. Yay...

Making progress very slowly...

It's been a while since I've posted anything. So, here are some updates on what I've been doing:
> School is a pain in the @$$ and I need to get my grades back up.
> I figured out how to export the models and add the textures.
> I still need to find a way to pose the model the way I want it to.
> I'm having doubts about finishing my Cloud statue as it is made of plain copy paper and isn't progressing along much.
> I've been distracted by many video games, such as Devil May Cry or Megaman. Fortunately, during the process of playing all of these games I've been motivated for future projects.

My friend, or my only follower as of now, is having his birthday on April 28. I started making his present and need to finish by then. I made him a red treasure chest from Dissidia. Inside, I'm going to put a potion from Crisis Core, or possibly multiple potions of varying colors. I'll throw in a handfull of velcro pieces because he loves playing with them. Finally, I'll hide something "Dorky" in there. He still hasn't figured out what it could be. ;]

Still having a few issues...

Currently, our school is in what we would call a "laptop crisis."
For this reason, I cannot run 3DS Max on my laptop and it does not work on my desktop for some reason. However, I did manage to convert the files, but I have not yet tested them out in 3DS Max. I tested them by opening the OBJ files in Pepakura, and it came out pretty nicely, except that there was no texture.

Nevertheless, I have finally created the Animated GIF that I promised you all! It's Tron-Sora using Tron's Discs!!!

Attempts to Convert KH2 Models

I've finally been able to rip the Kingdom Hearts II models from the disks and apply the keyblades and weapons. However, in order to papercraft them, I must first be able to convert them into 3ds files for use in 3DS Max. This part is a real hassle.

Anyways, I was playing around with the model viewer and had an idea:
Final Form Tron Sora using Tron's Disks.

It turned out pretty cool, and I'll upload an animated GIF for you guys soon, so keep posted.

For Tax Reasons Videos Are Cool...

They make good videos. I found this video by them. Love it.



Check it out. They make me want to make animations...


LOL I love this part.
What's with all these zippers? No person should have this many zippers. I don't care what fantasy it is.

Project List

About:~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I'm going to be making a project list similar to Kaizo's own project list. Here is where I will post my projects and their status. They are in no particular order. All finished products will go up on my main blog. Any suggestions are welcome.

Status Key: ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
WIP - Work in Progress
TBA - To be Announced
KIA - Killed in Action

Projects: ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Dissidia Cloud Strife 1 meter Tall Statue - DONE
I printed this one in regular printer paper and realized how flimsy it would be. Also, school has gotten in the way of things.
EDIT:
Reprinted on cardstock! Pretty much done! Might not be 1m, but still its a pretty big papercraft!
Pictures posted later!

Shinra Helmet (not sure) - TBA


Angeal Copy Dog - TBA


Drake's Red Treasure Chest - WIP
~Chest - Done
~Treasure -> Dorky Face -> He didn't want it but I guess I still have to finish it ->WIP

HD Roxas Bust -> WIP
Look at my background for the picture.

Roxas Set - TBA

Roxas vs. Riku / Deep Dive Diorama - TBA
Which one do you guys think I should do? The building one is epic, but hard to do since Riku is floating. There' s also the one where Riku and Roxas are fighting on the ground. So it's a hard decision. Or should I just do Roxas vs. Neoshadows on the building?

Welcome to Wagga Works!

Well, this is my first post here so here goes:

Hi. My internet name is Sabekio, and occassionally Dolcux. I started this blog to post all of my intended papercraft projects. I've already started some and will post them soon. Most of my models will come from Square Enix series. The games that I own that I can rip models and papercraft from are Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, FF7: Crisis Core, and Dissidia: FF. I haven't started any Kingdom Hearts models yet, but I will as soon as I figure out why my computer won't rip the models. Nevertheless, stay tuned for some papercrafting!!

PS: I thank Kaizo for inspiring me to begin papercrafting. GO KAIZO!!
