Make a Plush Step 2: The Pattern

So, you have an unwrapped 3D model now what? in theory, you could get those parts, print them and use those as patterns... but this dude called Seb Stamm, made this awesome free site that makes so much work for you! Man, if you can, please, donate this man a kofi for me! https://plushify.net

In that site you can find more info on how to UV unwrap and prepare your 3D model, and other guides better than this one, so i totally recommend you to take a look!

Anyway, you can upload the OBJ file you created on the last step, and the site will tell you if something is wrong. In this case, some tiny parts of the model are too stretched... but thats ok, i dont think they are gonna affect the model that much.

So, next step after uploading, is to give names to the parts of the pattern. You can omit this step, like I did... then I spent 1 hour trying to identify the 7 different kind of triangles this plush have, and even marked the wrong pieces on fabric ¬¬ Dont be like me, kids. You dont have to name everything, but do name parts if there are similar pieces in the model. Also, name how many of them you need, as sometimes you need to print 2 parts with the same pattern piece.

Coloring is also unnecessary, the program can tell you how to place the pieces on the fabric to minimize usage, so that's nice. I just did it cause I liked to see it in color :3

You can also add markings to the plush... but i have no idea how to do that, so... I'll ignoring them :P . Then, comes the place where i made my biggest mistake. The one that is gonna make this project take SO MUCH LONGER... Did you see how I have been using the tag Hubris? yea its there for a reason: I made this thing too damn BIG

Big Boi. Anyway, after all of that, you should get a PDF! With all the pieces and patterns, ready to print and assembly, this is so cool!

On the next step, ill print and assembly the patterns, and mark the fabric!
