WIP of the wolf I'm working on, I digitally patterned it with Pandafold the patterning software I've been working on, it went great! Digitally patterning saved lots of time, no duct tape and more accurate patterns #fursuitmaker #wip #wolf

The new digital patterning software is working great! I'm working on making a wolf. #fursuitmaker #fursuitwip

We've been working really on our patterning software! Here is a video for our 0.6.1 release for our alpha users, walking through our new features, and changes. The software is still in pre-release, ping us if you're interested in joining the alpha program. youtu.be/pyi_b53lte0

To get this working involved writing a text layout engine, which was a fun adventure, but I wanted it to save as much time as possible when it comes to cutting patterns. I don't want to have users spend time moving text around, I just want to them to quickly pattern and start sewing.

Initial work on pattern layout, this text is all laid out automatically, it includes pattern id, grain direction, material name (fur name), pattern description, and the seams (SEAM_ID:PATTERN_ID) #fursuitmaker #fursuitwip #patterning_software #sewing

If you want to help us test the software by providing any models you want us to test with please send me a DM. We won't use the meshes for anything but testing the software.

@coppersprite.bsky.social Provided an awesome fursuit headbase to test our patterning software with, it was really helpful for testing! Here is our video walking through how we'd use the software to pattern the base from scratch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vU4...

A few people have asked about how symmetry works in the patterning software, here is a quick video showing how you can utilize symmetry to make patterns. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlJX... #cosplaymaker #fursuitmaker #sewing #patternmaking

It should work well for that! I'd eventually like to get to the point where it can account for the stretch in mochi fabrics, but that is a post V1 thing.

Here is a detailed write up on the state of the software: www.reddit.com/r/FursuitMak...

Projector view for displaying patterns onto a cutting mat, so you can skip over having to cut out the patterns

OMG It's finally happened, first end to end! First test sew from the patterning making software I've been working on. #fursuitmaker #fursuitwip

Hey, are you using software to create these patterns? I'm asking because I'm working on software to create patterns for cosplay / fursuit makers, and I'd love to chat. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CY-b...

2D view of digital sewing patterns, blue lines connecting patterns show how they'd be sewn together.

Enjoy my rats nest! I'm really excited I have my first mapping showing how you'd match up the seams to sew the patterns. I've been working on this for a few days. It's been a long road to get here. #fursuitmaker #wip.

I'm so excited I can't wait to release the software, and see how it works for people. I hope it helps people create more fursuit, cosplay, plushies faster, skipping over duct tape.

The red areas show you were the pattern became distorted when it was flattened, and the pattern needs to be adjusted to account for the distortion. I rewrote a huge chunk of the export engine today which allowed me to generate a PDF to print up and cut out and test. (1)

The software I'm writing to go straight from 3D models to patterns is painfully close and far away. I test patterned a head with it tonight and it was pretty much perfect, the areas marked in red where were I had problems; I want this tool so badly. #fursuitmaker #wip

Quick update on where I'm at with the fursuit patterning software I've been working on www.youtube.com/watch?v=CY-b... #fursuit #fursuitmaker #wip #3D

Yes, I'm planning to make it available. It's not at a point where it's usable right now but I'm getting really close

Tearing duct tape really messes with my hands, and I've been trying to get to a fully digital patterning process for a while now, I've been working on this software (written in Godot) to get there #fursuitmaker #godot

Sorry I've been quiet lately, I've been really struggling with my hands. I'm struggling with lots of pain and have slowly lost the strength and dexterity to use even use a pair of nail clippers with one hand. I'm gonna see a new physiatrist next week with the hope I can recover my hands.

It doesn't say not to pet them.

Less than one day left to bid on this guy www.thedealersden.com/listing/donk... #fursuitmaker #donkey

It's fursuit friday, and do you know where your donkey is!?!?! Checkout this donkey I'm selling on TDD: www.thedealersden.com/listing/donk... #fursuitfriday #donkey #fursuitmaker

Working on a new wolf base #fursuitmaker #wolf

I really don't feel like working in my studio when I'm sick - I always wear a mask when I'm working in my studio, and the thought of wearing a mask while sick is :( So instead today I'm working on a new base #fursuitmaker

I got something a little extra at #denfur

Donkey mini-partial This donkey mini partial comes with a head, 3 sets of eye lids, hand-hooves, tail and an accessory box for eye-lids. The head runs on the smaller side it will fit up to a 21-24" head, as measured ar...

I've decided to spare this guy from being rendered back into hotglue sticks - you can bid on him here: www.thedealersden.com/listing/donk... #donkey #fursuitmaker #denfur

With enough money, anything is possible!

The next step in my fursuit making plans, involves selling an FD RX7 race car so I can expand my fursuit studio. I dread this because everyone always asks "can you turn it back into a street car" - no, no you cannot.
