The Voice in the Night

(Part 4 - end)

So, I decided... to make a Plushie

On the discord I'm on, tons of people where sharing their plushie collections, and here I was, with no project on my hand (except for like, 30 other projects on hold) and decided, out of nowhere... to make one for myself! I mean... how hard can it be???

I know how to sew. i sewed tons of holes in socks or button in shirts, that's probably enough, right? And what is a plushie but a soft papercraft??? this is gonna be so easyyyyy!!!! Anyway, i've been keeping a record, and I'm gonna show the steps I'm taking to make it, in case someone else decides to follow my lead, or so you can chuckle at my failure! Anyway, welcome to:

DasK's Folly!

Make a Plush Step 1: The Model

So, i decided to make an Helioptile plush cause, well, the guy needs more love, and i have a PMD D&D character, so yea. Also! I found a pattern for it by Diffeomorphism! but, unfortunately, it was one of their first attempts and the result was a bit... underwhelming (It was their first pattern, they got really good at this) So I started wondering... why don't I make my own pattern?

I found this awesome site called Plushify, that can create patterns just by uploading an UV unwrapped 3d model. Hey, i made that donut tutorial on blender, and i watch Captain Disillusionment... that kinda makes me an expert on blender! I can totally do that! Lets me just grab an already rigged model from Model Resources:

Fine, lets pose it and use the edit tools to cut and them mark as seam the eyes and other lines so i can cut it on different materials and... done!

Man, this is so easy! Now, to UV Unwrap! The process is a bit hard to underestand at first, you grab the 3d object and cut it and present it as a 2d plane... If you have seen a Skin for Minecraft or a source engine npc texture, then you are gonna understand how it works. You also need to add extra cuts so it bends right and has a good shape after sewing, and some other concerns. Its a bit hard to put in paper, but if anyone wants me to talk about how i cut this, send me an ask and I'll make a post!

Anyway, i do papercrafts, thats basically UV unwrapping in reverse, right? yea this is gonna be so easy!

Wait, no...

oh heck no... third times the charm!

OH SHIP NO!

THEEEERE WE GO! Again, i suck at explaining this, but if you want some help on how to do this, let me know! It did take me a couple of days and some tries tho, this is the 6th and final revision

I even printed some patterns before realizing some error I made, but yea, once done, export an OBJ file and you are ready to upload it into https://plushify.net! I talk about this on the next step
