that helped thanks:) but does anyone know of a tutorial maybe with photos and/or a video? For dummies like me to be able to understand lol. I know how to cut,paste,put together and all that just not how to make my own with a 3D model I find online.

I've been able to do a box but that is it. What do you mean rearange more complex models? Plus when I exported models to .kmz it doesnt work right. like that cube was 226 kb and when I exported to .kmz it was 61 kb. If I try and open it in pepakura it crashs. Any idea why??
(figured it out I had to downgrade to sketchup 6 for pepakura to take it and make sure its google earth 4)

Is there any possible way you can explain how to do a more complex model. Not something thats crazy complex just more then just a box. That would be very helpful and thanks for all the info you gave me so far:)

So Im starting to figure this out but how to a make complex images have less faces or poly count. I tried this polyreduce plugin but its not working right or I don't get it. Is there a way to do this manually?
you're kinda right : I use the 6.0 version. It's a little irronic that a older version is better from this point of view as the new one. When I say to rearange the part I mean to use the functions that appear when you give click-right on the mouse ( Rotate, Join/Disjoin faces and so on).
Here is a exemple in the first picture is the model unfolded by Pepakura and in the second one the same model rearanged.

I'm new here but I also got a question about using Pepakura from Google Sketchup. I'm trying to convert this model http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=c778a6ac6cf0c81d4904d89e9169817b to a papercraft but have been having some problems. I've been converting them to .kmz and .obj but the latest version of Pepakura, which I'm using, keeps crashing. Now I know the image is high polygon so is there any way I can reduce this number?

I'm also trying to convert this model too http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=dd08eeead4fb3a75e80540ad96fe9eef&prevstart=0 and Pepakura can unfold it but it comes out really weird and abstract with way too many parts- is there any way to fix this? Also is there anyway to preserve the texture/detailing for Pepakura?


Anyway, as a newb I apologize for asking so many questions but I would really appreciate any help.

I still need help with these more complex models. How do I lower the faces or polys or whatever?
