Cheater! 8)
It's a good trick, though. I was glad I figured out how to do it the hard way
and after that I could leave the rest up to my system (which needed a couple of
days to render the whole bunch).

BTW the method I used wasn't really very hard once I figured out how to do it.
Just find the line on which to fold, cut the model and rotate the parts around
this line. I also figured out how to more or less automate the correction for
the thickness of the paper. It's the long render times that were a problem
during the tests.
