Megabyte the Free Paper Model Toy Cat
Megabyte the Free Paper Toy Cat Patterns:
This paper toy cat is modeled after our pet cat Megabyte.
We spoil our kitty Megabyte mercilessly!
What does Megabyte think of our cat paper model? He fights with it!
He thinks it's a real cat!
We thought that maybe it was just Megabyte but no, we gave a cat model to a friend who had a cat and their cat did the same!
We consider this paper toy model a paper Cat Sculpture.
We started by trying to replicate our cat Megabyte in paper, but we had problems capturing his fur patterns (we may release a different version later).
So we used a pattern that is not really realistic for a house cat, but close.
We did use Megabyte's eyes, nose and mouth and the inside of his ears with some tweaks.
We created this paper toy model with the 3d modeling and animation program called Imagine 3d (no longer available) which we have used since our Amiga days and when the first version of the software was called Turbo Silver!
We used Paint Shop Pro to create the texture map. And, Pepakura Designer to unfold the 3D cat object. All great Programs!
BTW, Megabyte 1.0 the Paper Toy Cat was originally created to be printed out and built with just regular printer paper, the cheap kind.
We used no special paper in any of the images.
Also, our paper toy cat looks great printed in black and white!
Enjoy!
