hmmmmnmmmmm - Jeff Jones - 2025-07-03
in renders eyes+forehead lines are lower notch matches nose
in irl while height varies is constantly higher that the notch doesnt match the nose
i dont see any that are low/notch match nose so may be intentional?
what should it be eye low or eye high?
RE: hmmmmnmmmmm - Chris Böhnke - 2025-07-03
I assume there are technical limitations to print the eyes that close to the nose.
My suggestion would be to put the eyes (outermost point of the black outline) at a ~0.5-2 LDU offset and try out which looks best.
Also, it would really help if you used a more descriptive title on this thread
RE: hmmmmnmmmmm - Jeff Jones - 2025-07-03
i think the patternable area should be expanded more.
RE: hmmmmnmmmmm - Jeff Jones - 2025-07-03
almost ready
forehead lines look a bit wonky
RE: hmmmmnmmmmm - Jeff Jones - 2025-07-03
what a mess this was, the forehead lines particularly
is it ok?, is there a better view to do this?
RE: hmmmmnmmmmm - Chris Böhnke - 2025-07-03
At first glance I'd have said the part above the nose needs more vertices, but the real part looks indeed that angular, very strange...
Looking good as far as I can tell. Is it completely symmetrical?

symmetrical except the forehead lines
mind if i send you the file? or maybe just the original flat pattern

You can. But you could also put it directly on the PT

I didn't realize until now - is this based off the official file in the library?

It looks like the pattern extents the assigned "decoration area". Is that the case? Did you modify the base file?
