Cutout

Cutout is a plugin for Autodesk Maya for the purpose of building real paper models out of paper from your virtual 3d models.

Papercraft is directly generated in the maya scene — no need to export
Handles arbitrary material (also mixed) on the mesh: textures, single colors, materials etc.
Original mesh can be optionally deleted or kept in the scene
Final page size of the papercraft can be limited
The final pieces of paper can be arranged side by side, as an animation, or stacked
Papercraft is generated axis-aligned for easy printing and/or rendering
The size of the lugs can be adjusted
