The many belts of Tali

So I spent most of the day at my sewing machine working on some of the accessories and cloth parts of the costume. I'm happy to report that I've finished all the purple cloth parts and the belts.

Still to go:
 -Finish up the leather arm bands.
 - Create the Neck wrap.
 - Upgrade helmet
 - Upgrade Leg armor

 The leg armor is turning into a bigger challenge than I anticipated. More research is needed. :)

Pics will come soon. Once I clear some space to set down the camera and get dressed. Probably tomorrow.

For now...sleeeeep. Zzzzz...

When living as long as you do off blood, why wouldn't you come up with more creative ways of consuming? This tutorial will demonstrate what to change in your custom food to make it fit for vampires and make humans sick. Pre-Requisites: You need to have the Add-On Vampires for Sims 4 Sims4 Studio Basic Knowledge of Object tuning How to clone and make a custom food item. (I like using the Foodchemistry one) (optional) Custom Buffs You can complete this step once you have all your servings set up. On the single serving, you will want to edit the Object Tuning of your food item. You want to find the line < u n="_components" > that comes after any utensil blocks. This looks different between recipes, fyi. Everything I'm about to tell you to paste in goes AFTER this component line. Copy and paste the code snippet after component line. Now let's break down what parts of this code mean. The first yellow highlighted line is the stat this food affe

3D Printer to Die-Cutter Progress

Image
 There have been some hiccups in this process unfortunately. I still think this is a doable thing but for me, I have given up and purchased a Cricut machine to do what I wanted to do. It is still worth talking about where things were going so well and not so well.  It's got a Knife! So I purchased a generic knife holder with blades that fit elegantly into the blade holder I 3D-printed. I used small rubber bands to hold the holder together. I got my cutting mat and a piece of paper and started running some tests. And...it did work in SOME directions, but often the blade would get caught in certain areas on the flat bed. So I continually tried to mess with the bed level manually. No matter what I did, there were just some areas on the bed that would catch the knife.  The thing is, I had noticed in my 3D printing stencils as well that the corners just wouldn't get level. Thus I am struggling to remove stencils from acrylic glass.  So the big lesson I learned here is that, the bed

Acrylic Glass Art with 3D printing Series: Image Preparation

 The big challenge for me has been making sure my images are prepared correctly to get the best results for my chosen project. I will go over how I evaluate how to use the image, how to convert an images into an STL stencil and some tips for editing images to make them more suitable to the task.  You can find images on 3D printing repositories meant for laser cutting or plain old stencils. Most of my examples I downloaded from the user Longquang on Thingiverse .  But you can make your own using your favorite image making program. Ideally, an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) will be the final result. However, I will show you the way to convert PNG to SVG so you can make your STL stencils! Yay.  Find/Making Best Images Depending on if you are cutting or stenciling, you will want to use images with some heft. Made from big, beefy, beautiful shapes.  Ideal image to cut or Stencil But most art (mine included) use thin, fiddly lines to make characters. But you can't make a stencil or sticke
