My build list, and a pepakura idea

[Conqueror_Worm]

My interest is primarily in the original trilogy droids. I've been collecting reference material for 2-1B medical droid, 8D8, CZ-3, the Death Star Droid, EV-9D9, FX-7, Gonk Droids, IG88, Mouse Droids, Probe Droids, C3PO style Protocol Droids, Astromechs, and Treadwells. I haven't started any builds yet.

Does anyone remember the computer game "Star Wars Droid Works"? It might be a good source of reference if we could rip the droid models and textures from the game and create pepakura files from them. I've seen it done with other games, and I've experimented with ripping files from Tomb Raider and Quake, but I've never created a decent pep file from them. Does anyone else have experience with this? Even if the files aren't useful for full size droids, it would still be fun to mix and match parts and build small paper models. If only I could find my game disk...

Wow that's a lot of droids, guess it's time to get started!

Medical droid would be a challenge, it was all bones.

[Conqueror_Worm]

I found my droid works disk, and I figured out how to rip the files for all the droid parts. Now I just have to figure out what to do with the .3do, .mat, and .key files it gave me...

[savagecreature]

cool!

If you'd like you can pass some of them on to me and I could see what I could do with them. I have a lot of 3D software and I'm pretty sure I could convert them to something usable.

Thanks! I guess I'll start with this one, the medical droid head:

(Let me know if this image doesn't show up. It's a .rle, seems like an obscure format.)

Here is the 3do file
It also has a couple .key files, which seem to be for animation:
Dance.key
Walk.key
and some .mat files, which seem to be textures:
bak
bakcolor
fac
faccolor

Also, found this info about it in a .pls file:

Hmm, links not found, I guess we should've scarfed them up when they were online

I was trying to organize some of the information in the wiki and several of the droids you mentioned that you were collecting info for we don't seem to have much material. So: anything good you can share?

absolutely love pepakura..my chosen method of building.looking forward to seeing this hapen.

a google search of pitdroid pepakura gives this...never mind cant figure out how to link a file...but i have a full scale pepakura model of a pit droid unfolded and ready to print and build.

You can copy the link from the address bar? Or right click and say copy or copy link?
