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

Intro | Next ->

Helioptile here looks like that one monster from Starbound that looks like a baby Mawile. Maybe it's because they have the same color palette (and I used the same yarn colors for both) but now I can stop thinking of Helioptile as baby Mawile

Monica! My new DnD character, a tiny mewling that is totally 100% completely normal, nothing weird with her!

This was also my first time animating, and it was way easier than expected, and fun! I hope to animate things more in the future.
