THERE IS. a website. that takes 3D models with seams and pulls it apart to make a plushie pattern and informs you where things need to be edited or darts added for the best effect. and then it lets you scale it and print off your pattern. and I want to lose my MIND because I've lost steam halfway through so many plushie patterns in the mind numbing in betweens of unwrapping, copying all of the meshes down as pieces, transferring those, testing them, then finding obvious tweaks... like... this would eradicate 99% of my trial and error workflow for 3D models to plushies & MAYBE ILL FINALLY FINISH SCREAMTAIL...

so this website let's you:

  • import a model
  • create seams in browser
  • tells you how accurately the seams will recreate the model when sewn
  • let's you designate fur direction
  • let's you import markings so the pattern shows exactly where they go on the piece
  • let's you add little measurements on the model that are also visible on the pattern
  • let's you paint the model to play with fabric colors
  • let's you name each piece so it's easy to sort the pieces later
  • let's you scale it beside a human
  • then calculates how much of each type of fabric you need, BASED ON YOUR DESIRED SEAM ALLOWANCE..
  • and finally gives you the finished pattern with the detailed names and instructions it's transcribed from your notes

this is. beyond. this is BEYOND. and as far as I can see it's free???

I don't know what I expected.

Y'all know that we don't actually NEED a lot of people to hunt the mammoth, and they don't need to do it very often, right?

Like, that's really more of a "small, specialized band of hunters" task than a "turn out the whole damn clan" type of task.

Plus a single mammoth has so much meat and other useful materials. I think we'll be fine.

#poll currently has 10% of us risking life and limb for meat and 90% on other activities which sounds right to me!#IIRC that is the proportion of hunting to gathering that many societies have had#we have way too many freeloading time travelers though#at least carry my basket full of roots berries and assorted herbs and mushrooms won't you

Exactly! The problem isn't the hunters, it's those darn time travelers! Least they can do is carry stuff and maybe bring us some sweet presents from the future.
