  • I use to make fiscal models out of paper and tape but now I use technology. Come with me as I documented the whole process! Since making this video I have made around 10 large plushies using this Blender and Plushily. It has been a great way to work. and has sped up my prosses so much. I also just get way better results!
    I'm an artist who's always trying new mediums and I can't wait to show you the learning process. Subscribe for more videos like this!

    Thank you so much for this video! The plush making community loves to gatekeep their plush pattern process through paywalls or vague tips. You sir are the reason I'm learning blender to make my own life sized polar bear, thank you again!!!

      Aww, thanks. Yeah, as I progress, I really want to make sewing plushies as accessible as possible. I love making them so much, and I don't want to keep that love to myself. I want others to feel the same joys that I have when creating plushies. I don't want to keep it to myself.
      I'm happy to hear you are giving it a try.

    Plushify is great. And here a Blender Tip there is a Sewing Plugin for it who moves a copy of the Patterns on the screen and sew them back to the 3D modell. it is Helpfull when you don't know what is what, so you just klick on the Patern from the 3D Animation and it will mark it in the left side were your Patterns are.

    Woah in am so glad this appeared in my recommended! I just finished my first larger plush a few days ago. I made and patterned that in Blender, but I just traced over the UV map in an art program to get my pattern, I will definitely be using Plushify on my next project like this!

  • @Cy_Cyborg
    @Cy_Cyborg 5 місяців тому +2

    I'd wondered if something like this was possible! Blender's UV unwrap will also scale and distort the pieces to make it better fit the grid, but the foundation is still there to make it work. So cool to see it's actually possible!

    @sandwich3044 18 днів тому

    I will have to give this a go. I used to do the work manually coloring each piece, and labeling it, making marks on each peice, etc. and while i can eyeball the size pretty decently, it was pretty gosh darn annoying to print a customers order, and it was like 13 inches instead of 15, have to find the percentage difference and resize. So these features just might up my productivity a ton. Thanks for sharing.
    Edit - your plushue turned out really adorable! I think if its possible, a lil thread sculpting on the eyes, would really push him to the next level! Cheers. I love making plushies too! It just brings the heart so much joy.

    • @CalebNorthway
      @CalebNorthway  16 днів тому

      Man yeah that seems like a pain. Plushify should definitely help with that! And thanks for your recommendation. I've actually made over a dozen Plushises since this video and definitely made large improvements. I hope to make an updated video at some point 😁.

    • @CalebNorthway
      @CalebNorthway  4 дні тому

      Both applications are for pc (computers). So you can download Blender just by looking it up. And then, for plushify, you don't need to download anything. It's an online software. So you can look it up or go to plushify.net.
      If you need help on how to download blender I'd recommend finding a video on UA-cam.

    • @CalebNorthway
      @CalebNorthway  День тому

      @sew.meera1 for blender, you can download it on their website. If you have trouble I'd recommend finding a UA-cam video. As for plushify it's just a website. You don't need to download it. Just go to plushify.net

    hey! I know this comment is super late, but I got a question that I'm wondering if you could answer. I'm making a plushie from a game model, and theres parts of the texture i want to put on it, (it has a panel for a face basically) and I'm wondering how I could size it appropriately. It's a texture on the model, not another part.Any tips?

    • @CalebNorthway
      @CalebNorthway  3 місяці тому

      I'm unsure. I know that pushily will only read your object if it contains triangles and quads. so if there is a texture you are trying to create you could try making it out of triangles and quads. I'm unsure if that answers your question though.

      Idk this program is not super popular. I think it is slowly gaining more users. But in general making plushies is super time consuming no matter what so It can be discouraging. But with anough patience and determination you can definitely make Plushies.
      I would recommend at looking at blender tutorials on how to make low ploy animals. Also, read the general guidelines of how to use plushify and what models work for them.
