What it is

Toy2d (Hajmineh) is a set of cardboard-craft kits with how-to animations and AR interaction. The Toy2d add-on helps designers create unwrapped patterns of 3D models, and it exists for both Blender and 3ds Max.

01 Problem

Turning 3D models into cardboard-craft kits needs unwrapped patterns, cut checks and well-placed glue tabs.

02 Idea

The tool makes the animations automatically, in several styles. It highlights mesh-cut defects, meaning places that cannot unwrap with the current cuts. It also shows the different parts and lets designers move the glue tabs.

03 Result

Add-ons for Blender and 3ds Max that unwrap models, flag cut defects and generate how-to animations.
