Description
I made my last papercraft (the Star Trek V Galileo 5 shuttlecraft) by hand, but usually I make papercrafts from video games, starting with the actual 3D models from the video game. And that's what I'll be doing for my new one as well: a new papercraft Tomb Raider vignette of "The Beautiful Fugitive" (The Angel of Darkness, in countries other than Japan )Not the in-game model though, because I want it to fit the low-poly style of my other Tomb Raider vignettes . Luckily, I found this cute little Lara strolling about on my Playstation 2 Memory card and here's how I managed to get her off of there:
1) Using the PS2 Save Builder 0.8x tool, I extracted the static.ico file from a Code Breaker *.cbs save file...
2) ...then I used the PS2 icon Importer/Exporter plugin 0.8 by Vector to import the icon file in Milkshape 3D 1.8.2 (change the file extension to .icn or look for "All files" in the filetype drop down list to see the file in the importer) to save it to a more common 3D file format.
...and now I have a low-poly Angel of Darkness base Lara to make a papercraft vignette from!
