2nd this. don't underestimate how big of nerds we all are...

Great video, I'd love to see a video on 3d scanning if you guys have time

This kind of content is not boring at all!! I have learned so much things!

I love that you include the troubleshooting along the way!! Sometimes "perfect" tutorials just confuse me more. Seeing Benny run into the errors and just keep on working really reduces the daunting nature of entering new territory :')

There is a simpler way to know the measurements of your UV map when exporting it. Just export as an SVG and open in Illustrator. This file format is a vector image, so you can resize, measure, edit etc just like an AI file ^^. I hope this helps!

That's very cool! I'm gonna try that out!

Benni claims he isn't "that clever," but figured out how to make foam patterns by using the tool meant for making textures on 3D models in Blender. This is like when Svetlana says she can't sew.

I also said it took me a looooong time to figure out x-)

3D Head/Face Scan is a must have tutorial!

Such a helpful video!

Can we get Benni to do an audio book or story time with Benni very soothing voice. Epic work!! The eva dream team!!!

Very well done. Thanks, Benni. You don’t need to worry about videos being too long for us. You two are at the top of your field, so anytime you are willing to share your experience and suggestions, it will always be appreciated. Stay safe.

When my daughter asked to be Donnie from Rise of the TMNT, I despaired, because Donnie has a tech shell that he wears and she wanted that part. After watching this 10 times, along with your beginning blender guide, I have ACTUALLY managed to 3d sculpt the shell, size it to my kid, print the uv map, hold this thing up to her, edit the shape in blender to fit better and print it again. I’m no expert with foam so it may yet go wrong, but I’m so excited that I got this far, and I’m so so SO grateful for this tutorial! THANK YOU!!!!

More BENNI!!!

We love seeing Benni!! You two are awesome together! Benni, listen to the boss :-) and join us in more videos please!

I've been working with Blender for quite a while and I recently got into cosplay again. I did not know that you could use Blender for it! Thank you so much for this. Now I can actually use my skills to make things for my cosplays.

This doubles as fantastic tutorial for when i feel like doing my own patterns, and a reminder that I can just support you both and purchase the patterns I need from your store!! love it, I would love to see more content like this in the future!!

Wow this was so useful, so detailed and yet easy to follow! It's so impressive how accessible your instructions are, thanks so much!

Love these types of videos. Practical how-tos on techniques that haven't been covered a lot are super useful. I'd love to see more Benni painting videos as well.

Corgi! Also very grateful for the in-depth videos- not just for learning how to do it yourself, but also for deciding if skills like Blender are something worth learning for your own lifestyle, time constraints and tech savvy-ness. I really appreciate you showing the entire process from start to finish, even with all your experience, so beginners truly understand what it takes to get from screen to paper to foam. This video helped me realize a hands on modeling method is better for my learning style, but also I that just buying y’all’s patterns is definitely the way to go for my needs 😅.

I'm a bit of a Blender nerd and and also a cosplay nerd so this content is bringing my hobbies together! Super productive! Thankyou

Not boring! I love the deep-dives into technique. I get to see how excited and skilled you guys are at your passion!

This was fantastic!! Extremely useful information, and I always love seeing how you've applied blender to cosplay.

It's 2 years on so maybe you've discovered this add-on by now but just in case... There is a free add-on called Seams to Sewing Pattern which pretty much does what it says. It exports at scale and also adds registration marks to help match pattern pieces. Created by a clever person named Thomas Kole.

Oh my goodness a head scan video would be super helpful! It is a major stumbling block with me when scaling 😅

Eure Tutorials sind immer super hilfreich und motivierend! Benni lässt die technische Seite so einfach aussehend und erklärt so super, dass man das mit etwas Geduld auch selbst nachmachen kann 👍 Ihr beide seid ein super Team, macht weiter so!👍 um es nicht zu vergessen: Corgi! ❤

Any video with Benny is 100% Gold love you!!!! And ty so much

I have seen your first Blender video several times as a guide - this one will I look at just as much. Thank you for sharing, it's a big help for me to improve my own art

Loved this and it was super helpful. Thank you!

This kind of content isn't boring at all. I learned so much. I'm a novice with eva foam and this is my first time working with it. Your video helped me a lot with learning how to make horns for my Tiefling cosplay. Big fan here.

This is crazy helpful! I've had a project in mind for ages and couldn't wrap my head around how to make it - thank you so much!

One of my fav tutorial videos by you guys so far. Showing the potential errors you can get when trying to export saving ALOT of confused googling

Thank you, for demonstrating how you make-ish the horns and things

sehr geil benni. freu mich immer wieder auf eure videos. vielen dank fürs teilen. ps die hunde sind super!

Honestly I liked to hear you as well. You both are amazing.

I have been learning Maya and Blender for about 2 years now. And of all the classwork and tutorials, I haven't come across how the modifiers work. Until this video lol Great video! I learned some new things! Keep up the good work!

Very good info here, thanks for putting it together. I work with leather on occasion and this definitely helped fill in the blanks for getting a 3D idea into a 2D pattern

.awesome tutorial, benny made it look blender a piece of cake. the step-by-step is clear and concise even a beginner would understand. :)

That was awesome! I’ve never thought to use Blender this way. You can bet I will come back to this vid! +subscription

omg more please!!!!! super great content benny.

This is really helpful! especially because blender seems to daunting to beginners! thank you!

Great video! I really enjoyed it and learned, Ive been studying Blender for a while, but for a cosplayer perspective I didn’t know much. Thanks Benny!

this was honestly great! i use blender all the time but never thought of using it like this for cosplay!! thank you for the knowledge!!

Thank you

You guys must be a blast to hang out with! Love your videos, appreciate you sharing with us!

Well done, Benni! I know Svetlana is our cosplay darling, but I really enjoy the technical stuff that Benni's videos tend to be. I've watched the airbrush videos many times and it's cool to have another one of Benni's vids to add to the rotation.

Excellent, I would definitely enjoy more of these more technical videos.

Excellent work Benny!!!

What I really like about you guys is that you are not arrogant or anything, you explain this in a way, everyone can understand it and you don't hold back. Investing in your books is surely something that pays out in the future. Happy customer here :)

A trick for getting your scaling right in one go: Add an additional object to your scene that acts as a scale bar. In this instance, I probably would have used a rectangular prism that's 10 meters long (in blender space). When you export its UV, you know that you need to scale your image until it's exactly 10cm long.

I loved this method. The possibiliti of adding registration marks on the 3D model is awesome. Armorsmith add registration marks on patterns, but it does alot of it. I always wondered if we could use uv unwrap for patterns.

THANK YOU for this, I've been looking for giant ram horns for a WHILE, even making my own patterns, but nothing has been right before this. I can't wait to make them!!!

WoW!!! It's really helpfull. I didn't ever think to use UV-mapping for make own patterns Thank you

This goes to show that no matter how knowledgebleable of blender or any other tool you are, some things only come with experience and trial. Awesome super insightful video!

This is fantastic and useful. Thank you

Absolutely useful video, I'm not into making cosplay gear, but it's super interesting to see how different techniques can be used to bring a digital model into the physical space.

This is a great video, thank you for sharing.

Really nice video!! i love it

This is so helpful ! Thank you a lot Benni !

Benni you are the best, thank you for helping me with Blender!

Thank you! It's very useful for a 3D part of cosplay outside the body! I'll try for my latest project in costume design. :)

Love this content!!! Thank you so much!! :)

Benny, I always watch You and spatlanta. Make your cosplay costumes, and it's always better to know extra stuff. That you didn't know, thank you. You have a great show.

You can also take the pattern, use a cheap digital projector and project on to a full sheet of EVA (4'X8'). You include a scale reference (6" square surface). I then just trace. Just pay attention to lens distortion (use center of projection if possible). I use that workflow to make 5' long tentacles.

Very useful!! thanks for sharing

UV unwrap works better than the paper, I can't believe it! I always thought UV would lose the relations in the proportions and form but it doesn't. I tested and it even works better than the paper method. Great video, thank you for sharing

as a person in 3d Animation/modelling, this was very informational and awesome to watch !

Great video as always!

Omg thank you so much, you made it so easy to do !

I love this kind of video! I want to see more like this.

You could as well use the „show edge length“ under the viewport display settings.

We need to see more benni with horns/ props lol. Love it!

Would love to see a video on more 3D modelling! It's so useful!

Lovely video! Thanks!

This might be the solution I needed for a piece for a friend, thank you!

Great video! Thank you!

How did you know I was looking for this exact tutorial??? I’ve been Googling “making horns in blender” for the last few days so I could make my own pattern for foam! 😃 This is awesome! I’m so happy!

This was fantastic! Thanks Benni 🙏

Followed your first steps to blender video and made a model of Taro's mask (Kena bridge of spirits) but then couldn't get it to unwrap at all so came to this one to have a go at a simpler patterns first. Made Kanna Kamui's horns and they unwrapped perfectly first time when following this video!! Cant wait to size them up correctly and maybe print them out and have a go at making them! But back to the drawing board with Taro's mask with my new found knowledge from here XD Thanks Benni for the help!!

Amazing video. Thank you!

I think this kind of content is also very interesting, I would love to see more :)

Thanks so much for this video, Benni! :) I'd not seen the Paper Export add-on for Blender before. It helps to solve the problem of Pepakura Designer being a Windows-only product and I'll definitely be trying it out.

This was extremely helpful, thank you

I watched this whole video even though I have no desire to ever download or use Blender, but I love seeing your insights into how these amazing patterns come about! #corgisquad

Thanks for your work. Very usefull. 👍

Corgi! 🐶Really enjoyed this simple Blender tutorial, I think it makes the whole process a lot less daunting to see you walk through it and share what you've learned!

Thanks Benni, very interesting!

Great video. Would love to see more Blender tutorial videos too.

This was super useful benni ! I tried paper export in blender and didn't like it. But now I'm super excited to try it again with your technique!

Excellent, great tutorial video.....thank you very much!!!! regards from Chile.

hey, this WAS entertaining :) Thanks for the video.

Finally got to this video! Thank you so much!

awesome video Benni

I'd like to see more vids on making models for 3D printing, I know you did a lot of 3d printing for Aloy, and with another game coming out soon, I'm sure more ppl will be looking for tutorials on how to make stuff like that

I really enjoyed this vidéo, tour teaching style is much calmer and more soothing that Svetlana's, ans that was a great clear tutorial that made me understand a lot of things. Thank you Benni!!

You make it look so easy!

Very interesting use of Blender for making patterns

another amazing video!

It might be the quarentine but this was wildly entertaining! I'm really tempted to learn how to do something like this now, thanks!

Honestly even myself i'm surprised with how interesting the video actually was! Your explanations were really clear too, so I could see myself following it through if I ever had the need to for any of my pieces!, but still looks like a veeery difficult work hahaha

Great Tutorial!

Are you kidding? I love content like this!!
