Corgi's!

Benni your'e my hero!
My old PC crashed, with all of it's Inkscape/Fusion 360 info and tutorials, so this really helped to started again. Real life got in the way so it has been almost 18 months since then. My goal is to use the images and screen shots from Mass Effect to make plans for practical life size furniture "props". So far I've only managed to make prop of the Medi-gel containers from ME1, ... to store a bottle of Serrice Ice Brandy for Dr. Chakwas and myself of course.
Pet the Corgi's for me!

ULTRA PRO TIP:

But Blender can give you the blueprints automatically :

just go to render settings, at the bottom ENABLE FREESTYLE, select the camera, in the camera tab on the right set it to "Ortographic", press a button on the XYZ gizmo to set the angle, press
Ctrl+Num0 to align camera to view, hit F12, BLUEPRINTS DONE !!!

 
If you don't want the image itself, but rather only the edges, you can export it as an SVG by going to Edit>Prefferences>Addons and enabling the FreestyleSVG

then hit F12 again and BOOM, what you just did in Illustrator was just done automatically, with no manual work required, and it's also 100% accurate to the model



of course, if you want it to look better you can always change the line style and color and stuff, add a background grid, etc to make them look really pretty if you want

I've been lazy and just printed out the tiled screenshots but I didn't realize how straightforward inkscape was. I'm hyped for my next build now

[Alacritous]

You are both so awesome and enthusiastic about what you do. It makes me happy that you have found each other in this world.

I dunno if I'll ever be the type to use blueprints as my props aren't very detail oriented, but I always enjoy Benni videos, he has a lovely speaking voice.

"You know, I'm not getting forced to say that..." (then follows the strained laugh, the furtive left-right looks and then the ducking. I was waiting for a fun fur Corgi dressed as a commando to come flying through the air, aiming for your head! lol)


As always, a fun, informative and altogether great video! Frohe Weihnachten und ein glückliches Neues Jahr!!!

Mando’s rifle is a disrupter. It is illegal in the Star Wars universe, out pawed by the Empire and the New Republic. It is his and what you saw was a fight scene from episode 2 of the Mandalorian. They basically set every cell in the target on fire and disintegrate the target. Great video. Mandalorian is a fabulous program.

I love how Kamucosplay doesn't shame you for what you can afford. Hey here's a free alternative! This is what the community should always be like when possible

[Satarcon]

[trauts]

I just use pens/pencils and paper.

I feel so old and poor now. 😧

Hi Benny, Just tu clarify, inkscape does have guides, also if you have a 3D model you should take a look to freecad, there is a workbench for blue prints.

[TerritheAncientUnicorn]

Thanks Benni! Hope you are all having a great holiday! Happy New Year... in a few days!
