I have close to ZERO experience with models. The only reason why i recommended simplifying it was because you said the tabs where too small. Also if you noticed hotfile requires a half an hour restriction between downloading each file. As said be fore I recommened anybody to use 4shared, works for everybody and doesn't have ridiculous restrictions. Also, I was able to get a copy of your chest plate unfolded from mediafire (was the only one that worked for me) and it was all connected which wouldn't work If I were to print it out. How did you fix that for you? Also, what size did you use for the chest? if it wasn't too small i can just make it a size it up a bit in my pep program and see if it will fit me.
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, I've been swamped with work and other stuff. I haven't even found the time to start on my torso!
About the tabs, its possible, I was just having a cry because it was so time consuming. I did get there eventually and it looked legit. Too bad it was too small.
As for the other stuff, I would usually say GOOGLE IT but since you've all been so helpful to me, I'll divulge.
Its stupidly simple to collate them all into one page. You just turn on page numbers, print them all out, and glue them all together. Provided you've got some super glue or high strength adhesive, its legit.
There are various methods for scaling, and the best one would be to have some photos of someone who already did your suit and get a ruler and calculator out and do all this junk, but I won't explain because I didn't do it. I didn't do it because I can't find any pictures of decent eva 01 builds. So instead, you just measure yourself up on one dimension of the piece of the suit (length, width or height eg. for the chest you would use width because that's the most easy to measure, whereas you'd use length for a leg) and input it into the corresponding field in the scaling menu- 2D Pattern window> change the scale of development> specify the scale. But it takes some trial and error. That's why I made too small the first time. It's not perfect.
Btw, love how you wound up doing the chest plate anyway. Did you wing it? It's just such a great way of doing it. Like, if you do a pose where you push out your chest, the chest plate will move with with your pecs. Don't know if you intended it that way, but it's awesome and I never would have thought of it.
