[HOW TO MAKE] Digigrade Padding

[@rusd1995]

I'm in the process of making a fur suit for my son and it is quite the project. I have plenty of experience sewing but am so grateful to have this video!!

[@Neffertity]

You can do it!

[@longWriter]

Hope he doesn't outgrow the fursuit TOO soon!

[@bobatiger]

​@@NeffertityI want to try to attempt adding padding to a oversized onesie I wonder if you can make a tutorial on how to? Or attempt it?

[@Neffertity]

@bobatiger I personally wouldn't recommend that. Onsies are often made of fleece, and are designed to trap heat to keep you warm. Adding more padding on top of that would not only be very difficult, but would also put your health at risk with how much heat it would trap. Especially if this is for a child, whos body cannot properly regulate heat.

[@bobatiger]

@@Neffertity that's far and I understand

[@Dredgen13]

Hope everything is going well and another thing to learn🎉

[@Neffertity]

Thank you so so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@timidfelidae2108]

I've never seen a padding tutorial quite as thorough as this one, honestly it blew my mind when you flipped the bodysuit inside out and then filled it with stuffing, that's so smart!!!

[@BearrCoS]

Thank you for all the work you put into these videos, it has helped me exponentially in making my first skulldog digigrade suit. After MFC 2024, my suit was ruined and torn by non-furs on a walk to a park, but with all these vidios you provide, it fills me with a sense of determination, and so i've fixed her to the best of my ability, thank you. You've been someone i've looked up too for quite some time now, and if i ever got a chance to remake Yuki, You'd be my choice. Keep doing what you're doing, you're changing many lives

[@Neffertity]

First off, I'm so sorry to hear about that. What an awful thing to have happen to you. But i am glad you were unharmed. I'm also glad my videos can help you to grow as a maker and inspire you.

[@Th4tStr4yK1ttyC4t]

Fursuits are so expensive bro, if I wasn't broke I would've sued

[@BearrCoS]

@@Th4tStr4yK1ttyC4t 100% same. but there were no cams in the area apparently. my suit is now un-wearable.

[@Th4tStr4yK1ttyC4t]

@@BearrCoS I'm so sorry about that, I hope you can repair/get a new suit soon

I was struggling for so long because I didn’t know how to do padding. Thanks for the tutorial, your fursuits are amazing.

[@haileyfry8167]

You work so hard to give us tutorials and also to entertain us. You inspire me so much and I appreciate that! Thank you for all that you do!

[@Neffertity]

Thank you so much!

[@Millyblu_uwu]

This has been really helpful! I just got a new suit and it did not come with padding at all so THANK YOU! Out of all the leg padding videos THIS one is the best!

[@danomeral]

Not only an insanely beautiful and detailed suit, but a fantastic VR moder. Beyond words

[@margaretmoniz1254]

That came out really nice! And I can imagine cotton and breathable fabric is much cooler than foam inserts. What a good idea.

[@CoffeeMothStudios]

I absolutely screamed when i saw the notification. you are my favorite fursuit maker thank you so much!

[@Neffertity]

Wow, thank you!

[@AStormyBoi]

Forever thankful to see other makers processes and see all the ways I can continue to improve and make this easier for me AND my clients, much love down to the finest of details Neff!

[@Neffertity]

Always happy to share my processes. ^_^

[@gutssparkle]

Stormy I love that art style! Proud to be a new sub :]

[@snowfurs8562]

This couldn’t have come at a more perfect time! I was planning to make my first bodysuit soon and was so confused about the padding.. I love your tutorials, thank you so so much for making this

[@hinode_howls]

If I ever commision a suit it’s going to be from you! You always work so hard on your suits and they turn out amazing!

[@Neffertity]

Wow, thank you!

[@ezmer2dragon]

When it comes to mesh and lace fabric when I sew them together I fold color matching fabric over the edges and sew that on first. I found this gives extra stability and helps prevent seam popping.

[@HawkFirePhoenix]

Extremely excited for this tutorial! Your videos are always laid out in a way that keeps my attention enough to truly understand the process, and your artwork is simply stunning as well. I hope to get a suit from you someday! Kudos!

[@Neffertity]

I think a lot of that comes from the neurospiciness of my brain. I struggle to stay focused with most other tutorials too, so when I make mine I try to appeal to those with similar mindsets.

[@HawkFirePhoenix]

@@Neffertity I truly appreciate it! Been following you for a while now, and get motivated to create whenever you post :)

[@Pinemelon08]

I was just recently tasked with making digitigrade legs for a Grover costume my cousin’s boyfriend is participating in a play with! I’m so glad this tutorial was made, and I’ll definitely use it once I start working. Thanks again so much for a thorough tutorial!

[@frog_blep3004]

This is a wild amount of craftmanship and artistic ability. Seeing a project like this suit come together from the start is insane. I am not even a furry. I just appreciate the ability to make something so complicated. Wild

[@laughysophie8818]

I've never liked the idea of pillow padding that you stuff into the body suit after putting it so this was the perfect tutorial for me!! Definitely putting this in my back pocket for when I finally get around to my body suit

[@RhiannonSmudge]

I love how you're using your VRChat avatar for the explanation and talking bits. As much as I love the classic png tuber avatar, the VTuber style avatar is a lot more dynamic and fun to watch. And of course the tutorial is amazing, I've seen a few people use custom-shaped pillows for their padding and how to make that, but I've always wondered how sewn-in padding worked

[@Neffertity]

I definitely find I have trouble staying focused on a video unless there are other moving elements. Using the 3D avatar for the little cliff notes felt like the perfect solution to keep the viewers attention. ^_^

[@Leapard-thorian]

I love the 3d model at the beginning

[@VantheKeyofLain]

I feel so called out because my fursona is also a Snow Leopard! XD However I have a fabric that's like, the perfect coat that's already got all the markings on it. But Xeen's design was so beautiful too! And I just love that tail! So majestic! One day, maybe I'll try to make a suit, but that's probably gonna be in the distant future. I think it'd probably start with the feets! They just look so fun and comfy, like those fun shaped slippers you got as a kid!

[@SunriseFigure]

I wanna say thank you for all your tutorials and help! You mean so much to me!!❤

[@Neffertity]

You are so welcome!

[@AnozillaKaiju]

I never, ever, ever comment under YT videos but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this video; if I could give it 10 likes I would haha. Using stuffing as padding like that instead of custom-shaped "pillows" in the legs is 1000% the method I will be going for now, I didn't even think of that. I know probably not a method you "came up with" but you definitely have it down. By the way, the bodysuit blew me away. You nailed those gradients. Super clean and beautiful work. Keep it up and thank you so much for this tutorial.

[@Neffertity]

Thank you so much! I believe the first time I saw padding dome like this was through SpiritPanda's patreon (whom I really recommend supporting if you have the finances). It really opened my eyes to this method, and I wanted to share this technique with others. ^_^

[@shriveled_sun]

I’ve never seen anyone do padding like that before. Very unique!

[@erinheyl9601]

I am planning on make digi with this awesome tutorial

[@alekinzynaris7907]

This video came out at the perfect time for me! I'm planning on making my first ever fullsuit and I watched alot of your tutorials to get started and learn and I was wondering how to do the padding for the legs THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@exobass]

Cant thank you enough for this! ive been looking for a while for such a detailed turorial on how to create the patterns and paddings, finally i feel confident enough to continue my suit!!!

Great thing this came out after i made some terrible legs 😂😂😂 they work but are super.....weird i guess. They were made with foam glued to leggings. Anywho, i will be using this tutorial soon, maybe in a few months! :D my dad said that since i got good grades (all honors classes and a's and b's) so im getting a fursuit shopping spree!

[@JordanHurd015]

WOW! This tutorial is so helpful and in depth. I sincerely appreciate the effort that went into this! I’ve never been able to put my suits on the dummy inside out because the fur bulks it up so much and makes it super tight. Does this mean I’m making my suits too small? I really love the method you used for sewn in padding and would love to try it in the future!

[@Neffertity]

From my experience, yes. Your suit should be able to be turned inside out on the dummy to allow for enough flexibility from the wearer.

[@JordanHurd015]

thank you so much for adding that really nice captioning at the bottom, i am HoH and auto-generated captions are almost always terrible and it was so much easier to follow along with the video at a reasonable volume with your captions! if i can, i would like to suggest perhaps making them slightly larger, as they are very small for me (i am on desktop), but no matter what i really appreciate that you took the time to add them in and sync them properly to the audio!!
