3D Printed Fursuit Head TUTORIAL

[@OneFromEasternFinland]

I've never modelled a fursuit/furry head - but this would be pretty much how I'd do it: round cube and all

[@artyaardvark444]

Thank you so much! I’ve been struggling to find good information for making 3D printed bases so this has been a blessing

[@slusheecat4462]

For anyone making a kemono/Kig mask: you can follow tutorials on 3d modelling furry models like Gus Guntherton & another person (I forgot their name rn) and see how they build the face. This is another method for sculpting, but I think it works pretty well. Make sure to subdivide tho cause they start out very polygonal.

[@IDontKnow_lmao]

What an amazing tutorial! I wanted my own fursuit since a long time ago but didn’t have the skill or materials to just make the base. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL!

A little tip for people who hate vertices editing. You can sculpt the model on a sphere with a million subdivision surface modifiers (if your pc can handle it) and then use that as a base to model the head with planes, if that makes sense. It's really useful for me anyway-

[@wherestheparty-crawly]

do not actually use a million subdivision modifiers.. i accidentally put in 113 instead of 13 and my PC EXPLODED. i had to unplug it and restart it to give it back its soul.

[@SqualidsargeStudios]

Or you get a cube, add 2 sub devisions. Then go in sculpt mode and enable dyntopo. Your method is overly flawed

[@crepe_goo]

i used to do this but its really laggy even on high end machines. if u dont want to do vert editing thats totally fine, u can do almost the exact same thing in sculpt mode, but instead of subdivisions i would use a multires that way ur computer wont be constantly trying to kill itself. u can go back and forth between subdivision levels while keeping ur detail. also u can turn on wireframe so u can have a sense of what parts of the mesh you're grabbing. though for anything you're covering with fur, small details arent going to show up, unless you use a minky or something. I'd personally keep the subdivision levels as low as possible unless i absolutely needed the detail. but yea working with individual verts used to kill me but once u do it some more its pretty useful

I LOVE YOUR SUIT STYE SM OH MY GOD

The last time I 3d modelled a headbase was like a year ago so I completely forgot how to do everything so this video is super helpful thanks!

[@SorcererIno]

Thanks! I’ve been trying to model one just using a modeling project and no references and it was terrible so thanks!

[@haganaeyyra3825]

I have learned many new things from this video, thank you Benedict!

[@JasonBason]

I remember seeing this on tiktok, so glad this appeared on my suggested :)

[@pearwildcreations]

Useful video! Great job :D

[@Jowen892]

I’m assuming you split all those pieces and printed seperately. If so how did you piece them together afterwards. I’m looking into getting a printer but most on the lower end don’t have enough printing space.

[@tr4ff1cjam]

you use plastic cement

[@kellyjean4981]

Hey there. Thanks for this. I hope to see you make more videos. It’s a very niche area

[@WaiforXD]

6:11 oh.. how have you done it like actual masks out of sphere?

[@kawaiiphase7829]

So since you uploaded another head base your video didn't show how to hollow out the inside(if your sculpting from a cube). Hopefully there's another tutorial to show that.

[@Cosm1k.k9ine]

How do you cut out the inside part so to fit around the head?!

[@expertfrenchtoast3480]

Lol, we are the same! I looked this up to make a flying fox suit,my design happens to be in a similar style to yours

[@nasaki_art5134]

what version of blender do you use!

[@TacticaLLR]

Great video!

[@Breathing_in_sulfur]

why do you put holes in the head? I’m genuinely curious as someone who wants to make 3d printed heads 😅i’m assuming it has something to do with printing it out?

[@crepe_goo]

it makes it a bit lighter to wear and more breathable. it actually doesnt help with printing much in my experience cause you have to print more supports

[@Breathing_in_sulfur]

@@crepe_goo oh okay! Thank you ^^ i was curious because i always see them in other people’s models :]

[@UrAverageMimicKawKaw]

@@crepe_gooactually according to Mugiwara, it helps save filament as well as what you said

[@Eniac42]

does the material you print it make any difference?

[@zerowolf4051]

Can u do this on an iPad Air

[@SaffronFire]

Unfortunately blender is not available on an ipad :( most advanced/quality 3d modeling software is made for computers as an ipad does not quite have the power/space to run such a program. However, there are some other 3d modeling softwares made for an ipad, and if you happen to have a computer blender is free and very easy to download :) I would suggest looking into the 3d printing aspect a bit more as I’m unsure of how compatible it is with an iPad. Hope this could help!

[@Enrommie]

Thanks

[@yourhope5410]

How do you hollow the model then solidify? I have a model made and it’s basically just how I want it, but I have never used blender (I made my model on a different, less advanced program then put it in blender to finish it) so I can’t figure it out 😭

[@spibow]

In blender, the walls of the model are infinitely thin, so deleting any vertices will punch a hole into the hollow center.

[@arti6982]

You need to use a solidify Modifier, its located in the "Gear wrench" folder on the right side of your screen. your model should already be infinitlley thin unless you solidified it already.

[@yourhope5410]

@@arti6982 thank you!

[@WAFFLE_TH3_FURRY]

hey is there anyway u can make a fursuit head on ipad bc my pc can't handle it bc its rly bad

[@x_aquatix_x]

man made horrors beyond the comprehension.

[@updatedotexe]

That video didn't help at all. Can't even see most of the things with the 140p resolution going on there.......

[@trashykid12]

Hey I have a question :) What material do you use to print out the headbase? Oh and nice vid btw

[@Machieeto]

it depends on what u work with! i use pla but theres other people who use resin, it depends on what ur using ^^

[@crepe_goo]

sorry for the late reply oops but i like PLA. PETG is more flexible so it might take a beating more, idk. careful if you use something like ABS cause the fumes are toxic. another thing is since its wearable if u use something that smells like plastic it might be unpleasant, but PLA smells kinda sweet since its made from sugar and corn :)
