as much as i love seeing snippets of cosplay being put together in the form of instagram stories/reels (i followed along the whole time) i will ALWAYS prefer longer videos like these
3d modeling and printing is 100% crafting, it's just a different medium than foam. This is seriously so beautiful, it really does look right out of the game! It's a little crazy to me though that these companies give cosplayers such crazy short deadlines to make these intense projects. Big professional cosplayers often mention working sun up to sun down (or longer) for weeks at a time to finish the builds in the time they're given. I really hope these companies become more cognizant of the work they're actually asking creators to do and give more reasonable deadlines!
People who say 3D printing isn’t a craft haven’t tried making a model from scratch, printing it and assembling it 😅 Your videos didn’t convince me to buy a 3D printer since I already have one, BUT they did convince me to make my own Hunter’s Path for my Tighnari cosplay! Your Aqua Simulacra is sooo cool I just gotta try this myself 🤩🤩 (and I’m scared xD) GG to Benny and Jacob, they knocked it out of the park!
It's like saying using a pattern isn't real sewing. But, with the amount of baffling elitism I've encountered in the Maker space, it doesn't surprise me that someone would say that haha
All your props and costumes are just amazing! I had the pleasure to retry my hand on airbrushing with a specialized artist showing me the ropes, it isn't easy at all to be steady with the stream of paint. Benni and Jacob are so skilled ! Awesome job like always !
@@KamuiCosplay Yes I was ! I was helping my mom with her stand and he was doing a demonstration, took the time to show us how it worked and answered our questions. Had a lovely time, i already admired airbrush artists but even more so now :D
That looks amazing.! I think that people are just jealous and don't realize how much hard work you put into your weapons and costumes. I would love a 3D printer, but I am more interested in your Lazer cutter.
3D printers are totally crafting. It takes a lot of extra work to make that printed item look exactly the way you want. I have an axe I’ve printed for a costume and trying to figure out the painting composition of it is a challenge on its own.
I’m so glad the video came out! You are very inspiring to me, and even though I’m just a middle schooler, I’m so excited and ready to learn! My mom and I just bought a sewing machine yesterday, and I already set it up. Hopefully I can start making awesome cosplays when I’m an adult!
I think adding more block square type things onto the smaller pieces like the wings and butterfly to stick into the main piece would be a good idea just so it isn’t only held together with the abs slush
I saw snippets of you making the bow on instagram and thought it was so cool I ended up pulling for Yelan and just finished levelling her today! Great character and great craftsmanship! You’ve made a new fan :)
The increasing affordability of 3D Printer is a good thing. I've recently bought a Bambu Lab P1P and its so much fun. Of course its the next logical step to use it for cosplay and make things easier and more precise. For me the hard part always was the paint job its where the noobs gets separated from the pros. All in all cosplay shouldn't divide us just everybody should craft the way they like the most.
For me the hardest part of 3D printing is the sanding! I find I give up before I reach a smooth finish. Thanks for the tip about that primer spray paint! I’ll give that a try ❤. Also, Corgi Squad!!
stunning, magnificent, ethereal. I love the blue and the entire bow came out so crisp, it's very satisfying to look at. You're such an inspiration, I hope to make things to that quality someday. Can't wait to see the full cosplay
This is 100% a badass prop, and it was cool to see it made in real life. Also I think that 3D printing isn’t cheating entirely, due to the painting, sanding, and assembly required to make a prop, so there still is some work involved with 3D Printing aside from the printing itself. Corgi.
That was an amazing build, the crafting was amazing. People who discount the work that go into other mediums or any type of work are clowns. It takes hours to make 3D models, print and assemble the pieces like a puzzle, that’s work!
I cannot say anything about this, it's just too perfect omg from the details of the weapon, even the coloring too, it's too perfect! Omg i love it!!!!❤❤
Your video is actually so inspiring to me to retry my yelan cosplay i was waiting for every update on your ig but having it like this just makes me go "i can do so much better!!" real great work for the whole team
I’m not a cosplayer. I sew….thats it! But I absolutely love your content and seeing y’all create things! I have followed your page for years. This bow is amazing! I’m behind on y’all’s content but I’ve been watching the shorts. Insomnia wins again but I’m catching up on your Genshin Impact stuff and it’s great!
I greatly respect and appreciate you and your team’s hard work and dedication! I’m really inspired! I’m thinking about making cosplays and doing 3D because of you. I plan on buying the books you recommend and going on this intense journey.
I'm not planning on buying a 3D printer any time soon because I have no idea how to 3D model and I'm not ready to aloud time to learn this new skill Anyway, the result is beautiful, 3Dprinting really is hard work :D Congrats!!
My partner and I have been playing Genshin for a little while now. I did not realize you'd cosplayed Beidou! This bow looks absolutely amazing, and I look forward to seeing the full costume.
This looks amazing ❤ i actually got Yelan a few days ago, im pretty sure you gave me the luck, i subscribed and then got her! I think you gave me the luck so thank you! Can you make a Raiden cosplay one day, thank you so much if you do! ❤
When someone says something isn't "real" whatever, that let's me know they're not actually paying attention to the work that goes into things. Trying new ways to do things is how we progress!
i love that you made a long video on your cosplay! you got recommended to me through your yelan cos shorts so I'm happy we get to see more of your process. edit: can't wait to see the outfit vid 😆 you did so great on this cosplay!
This is 100% a corgi cheesecake !! 😂 Jokes aside, it's super well made, very impressive ! And yess I am fully onboard that 3D printing IS crafting !!! All the skills included in that art are awsome ! ^^ I am sure I'd love to do the sanding and painting part 🤓
I'm wondering if you ever bothered to print props with filaments that are not ABS? The reason I'm asking is that most people just don't have the workshop to deal with the outgassing chemicals that ABS puts out. I thinking of materials like PLA, PLA+(stronger and cleaner prints compared to pure PLA), and HIPS (niche but this workhorse has potential from tests I've seen as a print that can be abused as a prop/stage weapon that sees a little more wear and tear). As well as other materials like ASA (UV/weather resistant ABS plastic), Nylon, Carbon Fiber blends and PETG in general. I understand if it's not broken don't fix it mentality but it's hard to find cosplayers/makers experimenting with different options for open-air printers that don't come with a degassing chamber/Enclosures. Most of us are in the $300-800US range of printers. Personally looking to get a Prusa MK4 3D Printer kit because I want to work in quality first and sacrifice some speed compared to the cheaper $300-ish models out there as this is not my main job.
