[@thatwackycardgame5655]

I honestly think a lot of us would like to see more stuff like this in general

[@pergatory_a]

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

[@SaishiYT]

Hopefully we get some more soon!

[@suelenbraga2006]

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

[@CrankyPantss]

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.

[@ciarawilliams]

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 :')

[@swingularity1119]

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

[@coyohti]

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.

[@edrayed]

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

[@Jully5Jullyet]

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!

[@KamuiCosplay]

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

[@punishedprops]

Such a helpful video!

[@daniellewalker329]

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

[@iathim6278]

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.

[@gouki4u]

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.

[@KamuiCosplay]

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

[@kingnieto5571]

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

[@nekkidnora]

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!!!!

[@philippkowalski1105]

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 :)

[@rhea3d854]

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

[@EpicProvider]

More BENNI!!!

[@KamuiCosplay]

I'M TRYING!

[@fabiowilson3720]

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

[@swittman9123]

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.

[@arthurconandoyle2027]

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.

[@Febiza919]

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 😅.

[@EtM1232008]

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

[@KairuHakubi]

yeah i just plain want to know how the dink that works. can you do it without some kind of 3d camera?

[@edrayed]

3D Head scan is a must have tutorial!

[@jasonpbass]

got a camera? photogrammetry is easier than you think.

[@OverlordMaggie]

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

[@ScentedPineForest]

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

[@ahuman3642]

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

[@Johnny-qe7bv]

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.

[@dustiibunnii]

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

[@albertcorderoart]

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

[@vitorsantiago1075]

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!

[@LuisMattioli91]

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

[@Amanda-lk6dc]

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!!

[@JoannaPiancastelli]

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.

[@edakra369]

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.

[@kolobritt1986]

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

[@ralphedenbag4552]

Very interesting use of Blender for making patterns

[@FerociousOwl]

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

[@SAFI_07]

i love rams so much

[@AaronGRandall]

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!

[@Snowishhhhful]

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!

[@GregoryValentineAnimations]

Excellent work Benny!!!

[@marcelolima1615]

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.

[@Shiftarrr]

I was skeptical when you said you were gonna make horns out of cubes, but dang it man, you went and did it, and it looks great!

[@KamuiCosplay]

Like I said, I don‘t know any other way

[@aquariuswithfire]

Loved the video! A few suggestions as far as measuring size in Blender: 1. In object mode hot key 'N' will open a window to show dimensions of the selected object. 2. In edit mode you can open 'overlays' (top right on work screen) and at the bottom of the panel there is a measurements area where you can select length, angles and areas to be displayed on the objects. Hope this helps. Keep up the fantastic work and the videos!

[@EzrasMoon]

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!!!

[@ruthmeow4262]

You make it look so easy!

[@KamuiCosplay]

Right? But we spent so much time figuring this out lol

[@chelsamuels7703]

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

[@jellyandcream9471]

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

[@alsebka]

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

[@CraftyCrab_Ch]

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

[@myu_wynn]

This is so helpful ! Thank you a lot Benni !

[@leoa9474]

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

[@phillipchronister7035]

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

[@BernieFishnotes]

Never knew you could do that in blender, thanks!

[@klayjones724]

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.

[@robertjb001]

Corgi's are cute!

[@Yurij90]

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! ❤

[@Taurusus]

Exactly right Benni, this kind of video isn't going to get the same *volume* of views as some of the others on this channel, but for those who need it, it's absolutely invaluable. Quality over quantity!

[@vaelofhearts2418]

This was cool!!

[@KamuiCosplay]

Glad if you liked it!

[@idunablack2592]

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

[@flaagan]

Head scanning would be awesome to see a vid on, especially if the process is potentially scalable to getting a rough full body scan.

[@MissKayanYeung]

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

[@sibylline7220]

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!!

[@n.kotomi5523]

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!!

[@anaiscardot6674]

and this goes straight to my "super useful videos for futur cosplays" youtube playlist ^^

[@ceiiph2023]

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

[@KathyMillatt]

Loved this and it was super helpful. Thank you!

[@MarinusMakesStuff]

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.

[@notlazyy]

is there any cheaper alternative for illustrator? by the way amazing video! very helpful as well as your other blender videos ive gotten so much better!

[@timmy2310]

You guys are my favorite couple. Love love LOVE your channel!!!

[@HFHProps]

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

[@limroto]

Scanning a head? YES PLEASE for that tutorial

[@Oppaiko666]

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

[@RafaelCamacho-ln3gj]

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!

[@jenniferbrincho]

This was fantastic! Thanks Benni 🙏

[@MikeSmith-qt4pe]

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

[@jamiebmorton]

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

[@Harko-]

Thanks Benni, very interesting!

[@powersave2]

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

[@gileshaywoodsmith641]

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

[@tildeeriksson231]

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!

[@LegendOfZya]

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!

[@weldmaster80]

This was extremely helpful, thank you

[@rein2560]

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!!

[@michaeldiaz6570]

awesome video Benni

[@malcolmreynolds7122]

Very good video for cosplayers. Thanks!

[@SauceLadle]

This is fantastic and useful. Thank you

[@victormachine9665]

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

[@propmadelarp]

i need more 3d printing tutorials ! i go by my... your book

[@mefdalira4961]

Very useful!! thanks for sharing

[@siriussternenstrahl4728]

Just for Benni: Corgi Love your tutorials. The Fusion 360 helped me jumpstart a little project totally unrelated to cosplay. Your craftsmanship can be applied in very versatile ways😀

[@reygeekgilboy5100]

I will love to see a video of your 3d scanning process

[@lr5612]

Are you kidding? I love content like this!!

[@oke_doke2894]

You can adjust the Unit Scale under Scene Properties >> Units tab in the properties panel. (e.g. change Unit Scale from 1.0000 to 0.01) This will fix the Dimensions displayed on the N-panel.

[@Theros666]

Lovely video! Thanks!

[@SlyThePumpkinGuy]

Thank you... very detailed 🎃

[@anthonyrich1592]

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.

[@SenorGato237]

Headscan tutorial? Yes please!

[@Gillian_foxglove]

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

[@lawrenciaclovis8607]

Oh please definitely do a video on making 3d models of the body

[@otheblade]

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