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.
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 :')
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!!!!
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.
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 :)
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.
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!
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 😅.
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
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!!
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.
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
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!!!
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!
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!
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.
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!!
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!!
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.
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
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! ❤
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!
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.
I watched this whole video even though I have no desire to ever download or use Blender, but I love seeing your insights into how these amazing patterns come about! #corgisquad
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!
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😀

I honestly think a lot of us would like to see more stuff like this in general
2nd this. don't underestimate how big of nerds we all are...
Hopefully we get some more soon!

That's very cool! I'm gonna try that out!
3D Head/Face Scan is a must have tutorial!
Can we get Benni to do an audio book or story time with Benni very soothing voice. Epic work!! The eva dream team!!!
Such a helpful video!
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.
I also said it took me a looooong time to figure out x-)

More BENNI!!!
I'M TRYING!
We love seeing Benni!! You two are awesome together! Benni, listen to the boss :-) and join us in more videos please!
Any video with Benny is 100% Gold love you!!!! And ty so much
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

Not boring! I love the deep-dives into technique. I get to see how excited and skilled you guys are at your passion!
Oh my goodness a head scan video would be super helpful! It is a major stumbling block with me when scaling 😅
yeah i just plain want to know how the dink that works. can you do it without some kind of 3d camera?
3D Head scan is a must have tutorial!
got a camera? photogrammetry is easier than you think.
Wow this was so useful, so detailed and yet easy to follow! It's so impressive how accessible your instructions are, thanks so much!
This is really helpful! especially because blender seems to daunting to beginners! thank you!

Great video! I learned some new things! Keep up the good work!
WoW!!! It's really helpfull.
I didn't ever think to use UV-mapping for make own patterns
Thank you
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
This was fantastic!! Extremely useful information, and I always love seeing how you've applied blender to cosplay.
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.
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!
i love rams so much
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.
Honestly I liked to hear you as well. You both are amazing.
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!
Like I said, I don‘t know any other way
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!!!
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!
We need to see more benni with horns/ props lol. Love it!

Very interesting use of Blender for making patterns
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!!
Head scanning would be awesome to see a vid on, especially if the process is potentially scalable to getting a rough full body scan.
sehr geil benni. freu mich immer wieder auf eure videos. vielen dank fürs teilen. ps die hunde sind super!
.awesome tutorial, benny made it look blender a piece of cake. the step-by-step is clear and concise even a beginner would understand. :)
That was awesome! I’ve never thought to use Blender this way. You can bet I will come back to this vid! +subscription
You guys must be a blast to hang out with! Love your videos, appreciate you sharing with us!
Excellent work Benny!!!
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!!
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!

But back to the drawing board with Taro's mask with my new found knowledge from here XD
Thanks Benni for the help!!
This might be the solution I needed for a piece for a friend, thank you!
as a person in 3d Animation/modelling, this was very informational and awesome to watch !
Benni you are the best, thank you for helping me with Blender!
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.
You make it look so easy!
Right? But we spent so much time figuring this out lol
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
This was cool!!
Glad if you liked it!
Never knew you could do that in blender, thanks!
This is so helpful ! Thank you a lot Benni !
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! ❤
Loved this and it was super helpful. Thank you!
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!
This was super useful benni ! I tried paper export in blender and didn't like it. But now I'm super excited to try it again with your technique!
You could as well use the „show edge length“ under the viewport display settings.
idk if this would be ya'lls thing but I would love to just sit here and watch benni stream him making stuff like this, I find it so fascinating
and this goes straight to my "super useful videos for futur cosplays" youtube playlist ^^
You guys are my favorite couple. Love love LOVE your channel!!!
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!
This is going to be very helpful since i have to make a costume for a halloween party here in Stuttgart.
Great video. Would love to see more Blender tutorial videos too.
i need more 3d printing tutorials ! i go by my... your book
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.
omg more please!!!!! super great content benny.
Would love to see a video on more 3D modelling! It's so useful!
Wellllll done 👍
Excellent, I would definitely enjoy more of these more technical videos.
It might be the quarentine but this was wildly entertaining! I'm really tempted to learn how to do something like this now, thanks!
Scanning a head? YES PLEASE for that tutorial
This was fantastic! Thanks Benni 🙏
I watched this whole video even though I have no desire to ever download or use Blender, but I love seeing your insights into how these amazing patterns come about! #corgisquad
Another wonderful tutorial. I would love to see how you made your 3D head scans.
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!
Very good video for cosplayers. Thanks!
I love this kind of video! I want to see more like this.
Wow, Beni, this was not too long at all. I loved it. I use blender and it was super helpful to learn new tricks. How would I make a head scan?
Dang, blender3d is so useful for so many things! Any other cool free programs that you use?
This was extremely helpful, thank you
awesome video Benni
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😀
Thanks Benni, very interesting!
Sehr Nicos Video 👍👍
Corgi! This is a great video, even a very non-technical person like me could follow along easily!
