bye 😂

There are like 40 heads using the Clone Wars cartoony style.

I would like these to be somewhat uniform in regards to eye height and size.

Maybe it's even possible to sub-file and reuse some assets?

EDIT:
I might have overlooked something, but are there any headpieces which must match certain areas of the face?

speaking of subfile
there are 2 versions of this funny looking head for 3626b and 3626c

checked
obi wan's and anakin with scar print seemed like they would fit but are too big based on comparing the official renders

Here's a collection of my CW-heads

Ah, yes - many are alien species not matching the general shape anyways.

[Jeff Jones]

done😂

[Jeff Jones]

why does everytime i try to do a pattern for a curved pattern it turns out that the geometry doesnt line up with the base mesh geometry
and when i try to correct and export it it ends up corrupted and i try to import it using obj2dat and it ends up many missing polygons


can someone convert it correctly to fit on 3626.dat so i dont pull my hair out trying to do the same

[Jeff Jones]

i assume this snafu would be fixed using slicerpro

but how do i use it
enter is to close the program then how do i enter in a command?

As the original author of slicerpro I can tell you: don't use it, it does a pretty bad job for most patterns (very poor triangulation). You should instead try to use ldpattern creator. Tedious, but works...

ok

[Chris Böhnke]

I'll give it a try.

The trick is to never draw a triangle across the mesh lines in your templet.

   

Here the 3 green will be exported well, but the red one will be out of position.

thanks

when i export from ldpc it is flat no formed
is there a option to make it 3d?

[Chris Böhnke]

You need to use a template:

It is always better to keep to the guiding lines.

However: If you need to cross one of these lines do the following to slice a triangle along these lines, do this only TEMPORARILY
-> Go to FILES -> METADATA AND PROCESSING
-> Select the SLICERPRO.EXE check.box
-> Click OK

When you now export the surface will be cut along the guideing lines and the resulting triangles iwll be projected onto the template:
   

This looks faily nice in this example, but it might require some clean up afterwards to reduce extra vertices.

Therefore you can draw closely to the guiding lines, select the vertex and press CTRL-T to snap the vertex to the guiding line

REMEMBER to disable SlicerPro again

neat

is there a way to import a dat file as the geometry
if i know then i could finally finalize the patrick legs thats been on hold for like a month

[Magnus Forsberg]

is there a way to import a dat file as the geometry

Yes.
Make a dat-file, using all the formed surface you want to print.
Make sure all vertices are unified. No rounding errors.

Use File/Import from DAT. Choose an appropriate direction to suit the image you have of the pattern.

Choose Import a DAT File / Overwrite and import projection data

Select your file of surfaces.

Draw your pattern.

tried to make a template😂
