I've done that a number of times myself and personally find that Sketchup and UPC3D make a great pair. Also, some users in the post have indicated possible issues bringing in files from Sketchup. Not that OBJ is inherently problematic, mind. I go to their website every couple of months or so and grab the latest update, which tends to keep compatibility up-to-date with the native file formats of various major 3d modelling packages, which can make unfolding more straightforward than with a generic format such as.OBJ. And finally, UPC3d imports a pretty wide variety of model formats, which may be worth consideration.

In many cases, depending on the complexity of detail in your textures, this is critical in making your models look of professional standard, if that is import to you.

If you're using multiple 4k (or higher) texture maps on your model, which is not unreasonable because we are dealing with an object that is ultimately going to be printed and not just viewed on a screen, you'll be able to maintain that full detail all the way to your final printout, raster export, or whatever. Importantly, UPC3D handles high resolution textures very well, and that's a humongous benefit to me over Pepakura (I don't have the expensive hi-res version of Pepakura). It's difficult to expound upon the details, because there is quite a lot of flexibility, but there a demo available, which should give you some insight. Its initial complexity quickly gives way to an abundance of options in the layout and presentation of your models - by the time you're finished, you'll have a document that looks exactly like you want it to. Once you get to grips with the program, however, you'll find that there is much to appreciate. On the other hand, making these models in the first place presupposes some level of familiarity with 3d modelling, so I doubt there should be any real problem - you might have to spend a little time getting used to its operation, but the learning curve isn't that steep. I will say upfront - I think UPC3d is a pretty serious 3d tool, and it may seem somewhat daunting and/or unintuitive to those who are not already quite comfortable working in 3d modelling packages. Maybe 40 hours with it, so I'm by no means an authority on it, but I've definitely used it a fair amount. I purchased UPC3D about a year and a half ago, and have spent oh. I'm a full-time professional 3d modeller in the hobby wargaming industry, and an occasional papercraft enthusiast. Having used both Pepakura Designer and Ultimate Papercraft 3d, though, I find that my personal preference weighs heavily in favor of Ultimate Papercraft 3d - I think it's a shame that seemingly so few papercraft enthusiasts have heard about or use it.

I was digging around the net trying to find reliable reviews on this software before I bought it as well, and information is pretty scarce. It lets you unfold a 3D model, then print it out, or export it to a high resolution bitmap. This is a specialty Windows tool for creating papercraft from 3D models. The first release of Ultimate Papercraft 3D, is now available.
