Yuki Mori and Takeo Igarashi from The University of Tokyo have created this really cool tool for designing plush toy patterns. It looks very easy to learn and lets you model completely original toys, then gives you the 2D pattern from which to sew. Computer science just got cute. – [via] Link.

sarahhhsays:

That’s fantastic ~ I wonder if it could be used to make clothing patterns as well?

nm, program works great! (it froze up on me the first time I used it)…go download it!
The program was unusably buggy. After drawing the initial shape, weird geometry sprouted out of nowhere and expanded on both the pattern side and the design side. We tried it on 3 different computers.
It looks awesome in the demo. I hope someone debugs it.
