MAKE Labs manager Sam Freeman suffers the attentions of a cuddly “headcrab” parasite extracted from Half-Life 2.
This project first appeared in MAKE Volume 38, on pages 72–75.
I’ve played a lot of video games, in particular the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) called Dota 2. In Dota 2, there was a monster that I loved. I wanted a plushie of that monster, but to my dismay, the game’s makers didn’t sell any. So, I rolled up my sleeves and made my own, using the in-game 3D model to create the sewing pattern.
You too can make your own plushies of 3D characters exported from video games. In this guide, you’ll learn everything from the fundamentals of 3D models to running Python code to drafting a sewing pattern. This ambitious project will give you the experience to pattern-draft from any 3D model to create anything from car seat covers to custom-fitted clothing.
Hi there.
Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial. Sadly, I’ve ran into some snags.
I would really like to make a plushie out of the World of Warcraft game.
I’ve tried to find any sollutions, but it’s very hard to find, since Blender may be free, but the model doesn’t respond well, and UVLayout is a bit expensive for a one off sewing-pattern.
Could you please help?
Sincerely,
Seth
You can Use Roadkill UV mapper, it’s free. I UV mapped a Horse I made with it ,though I used Hexagon 2.5 (still free at the time I write this) to tidy up the map and move things around to better take advantage of space for texturing. You could still move stuff around in Hex just not change the scale of anything.
why you don’t attach with makezineeeMarissa Meyer has gone so far as to Support the practice that I have been doing since last year. In this year till now I have earned 67k dollars with my pc, despite the fact that I am a college student.
Why not try this Tips here
Okay my best to find a pattern of how to make this plush and I’m out of luck I don’t think there is a 3d pattern out there for one. If anyone could help I would be so happy and grateful.
I would adapt a ready made pattern that’s already on the market. Something for a cat or a pet could easily be adapted. such as this… https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/48/bc/db/48bcdb72b903d3e981a3eac3246870fa.jpg
Hope this isn’t too late to suit your needs. Janet.
Ok I tried my best to find a pattern of Mr. Mew from TWEWY and absolutely no luck. If anyone could help me at this I would be really really happy and grateful. There’s no 3d pattern available.
