Basics: This tutorial has everything you need to know to start making papercraft projects like mine. The basic idea is: Make or get a 3D model.Reduce the polygon count. I use the decimate modifier in Blender and heavily edit the mesh afterwards. Aim for less than 1000 faces. Import the model into Pepakura and organize the pattern. You'll need to buy a license to use some of the features. (Autodesk's 123D Make  is a free alternative but it's not very good.)Print the pattern on to cardstock paper. The heavier the stock the nicer the faces will look. I've been using 65lb because Michaels sells jumbo packs in lots of colors but upwards of 110l
