Author Topic: Character 3D file  (Read 6624 times)

Could someone give me the file for the character in blockland i would like to make a paper craft model out of it.

base/data/shapes/player/m.dts

Not viewable in any modelling program, unless you get the demo of Torque Showtool Pro (view only) or Shaper.

Torque constructor?
You can import DTS Shapes for reference there.

The program i use actually imports and exports into .dts files

TL:DR Don't just use the original DTS file for two reasons. 1: it contains all of the accessories. 2: after you clean it all up making it into paper is pure hell

Here's a tip, make it from scratch or edit the file heaps, to create do-able simple folds for the default minifig is a nightmare, don't just rip the model and place it into pepakura if that's what you're using (I'd most likely say so)

Here's why:



The first one is the origbrown town blockland minifig, the second is my own. (same size)



Using the original minifig isn't a good idea, sure it looks easy and a bit better looking because you've clicked one button to convert it all, but once you print it out and start to cut 'n' gluing you'll find out why ;D Making papercraft is meant to be fun, not pure hell.

After all that, like I said in the Papercraft topic, once it's made it will look like this anyhow (picture below)... and don't use straws :S (lol at whoever suggested that) what I ended up doing is just gluing it to a peace of paper with a nice background on it (A picture of the map bedroom) and from this you can hang it up on your wall.



What's another good thing is just to leave the papercraft blank, print it out and sit down with your child/siblings and they can colour it in, and draw their own decals and such onto it, cut it all out and glue it together, good times ;)

Here's a .3ds file of the original minifig but with no textures and such so you can easily apply your own to suit your needs and styles.

If that's what you needed, or just the .dts file that Chrono told you of ;)





Since you've included the entire neck in that file, rather than just the parts above the body, won't the minifigure actually be a little taller than the one in the game? (Unless it has accessories, but none are included here)

The file itself isn't made for papercraft, as I said it would be a bad idea.
That's only for reference.
It's the normal .dts m file but converted to .3ds and has no accessories, I haven't downgraded it.
I wouldn't give out the paper ready file to people because where is the fun in that.

But talking about the neck what I ended up making for one of the testers was keeping the neck long and added a box hole into the body, so that the head itself sits nice and snug inside and you can remove for fun.
( not seen in the pictures, since they are old and are simple tests, Not going to show my new one yet ;P )

But yeah, you have a good eye.

//Also thanks for the love people.

NOTE: your modify of the Blockhead is not the same size i took a flat scaler up to meh screen and mesured teh feet and head and yours is bigger. Make an easy model by just copying and pasting or modfy the original but if you wanna use the original make shure you make a back up file so you dunt loose it.

"Perspective"

If you're going by the wireframe view then you shouldn't since that's to show how cleaning up the model is better, I didn't line them up so people could grab rulers out and see how good I am at grids.

It's the same size, "exactly" since it's a heavily modified version of the original.
The top part of the foot has been cut off for paper reasons, and the head has been lifted for reasons I stated below.

Also plz red be4 postn nex teim

and don't use straws :S (lol at whoever suggested that)
