About a month ago, just came across the Pepakura Designer and man it is really cool. Basically, it will convert your 3d file to a paper foldable model, just as if you were making a box. It reduces the poly count into a workable file and then unfolds it with all the textures. I ordered a plotter cutter just to be able to cut them out. This software is open to the public as shareware so you can download and try it freely although some advanced features are limited until you purchase a license key. I will let you know how it goes. here are some examples I cam across. ~ Cornell
