I printed this out, then realized I can't read Japanese.Guess I'll have to play around with this a while to figure it out.

Its part of the PDF if you look at it.Ive done most of the level. I still need the detail but its all small and a pain in the ass. The grey tab things need sharper corners or they run into eachother.

That's not a render. This thing is teh secks. =DIt looks like it'd be nearly impossible to make with any level of neatness if you're using regular paper. Something stiffer would probably work best.

Ok you got that point :)Just let me finish my Super Mario 64 level editor, and the first thing I'll do after is designing a fold-up paper version of Princess Peach's Castle :)By the way, by some odd coincidence, Mario 64 celebrated its 10th anniversary this June 23rd.

I'm gonna take a run at it at work tomorrow. I think I can get through it without a translation... at least most of it

not that anyone is even interested in it anymore, but I finished it after 3 days of off and on work. I have alot of pictures of it if you want to see them just email me at chr1snv@gmail.com I can't read Japanese, and I didn't use glossy paper or card-stock (If you look closely at the picture on the pdf, it looks like photo-paper was used). But excuses aside, my finished product is pretty crude and If I were to use all the stuff you were supposed to, I still don't think I could do much better. (I don't have mad skillz, lol)
