I took this commission prior to starting work on Pandafold and I've been nibbling at it for a while now with help from @ozziebonez.bsky.social; it's the only commission in my queue. It will be the last fursuit I make without digital patterning!

Whoa, the projection window feature is amazing. I've seen people use projectors for cutting out patterns but ive seen it requires to set up the projector so it points straight down so things project correctly from a flat pattern image.

(3/3) If you join the Patreon and support my efforts. You'll get access to the alpha software and the ability to have feedback on the direction of the project. I've worked on this full time for the past year; instead of making suits; instead of going back to a corporate software dev.

(2/3) So pandafold is my response, it's my fourth attempt at solving this problem. I wanted a tool that accelerated my suit making workflow and I really feel like I'm nearly there. Sure it isn't remotely as powerful as CLO, but I'm just one person working on this, and not huge company.

(1/3) Few pieces of software give me anxiety attacks just thinking about using them, and that is one. I spent way too much time trying to get it to work for me, and it was one of my reasons for writing software to solve this problem.

Thanks, I'm excited to see how people use it!

To get this working involved writing a text layout engine, which was a fun adventure, but I wanted it to save as much time as possible when it comes to cutting patterns. I don't want to have users spend time moving text around, I just want to them to quickly pattern and start sewing.

If you want to help us test the software by providing any models you want us to test with please send me a DM. We won't use the meshes for anything but testing the software.
