Learn to 3D model in Vectric Aspire. Episode 1- Convert a 2D bitmap image into a 3D model.

In this video I show in depth how to convert a bitmap image of Jiminy cricket from Pinocchio into a 3D model. I use one of the best software applications for 3D modeling for CNC, Vectric Aspire. This method will work with just about any image. This is episode number one of a multi-part tutorial series on 3D designing in Vectric Aspire Version 11.

I second the Bob Ross comment. That was the best tutorial I have watched. Thanks so much!

[BigJoe]

You’re like the Bob Ross of 3D modeling! Nicely done sir!

[rogdotcom]

nice work, I've struggled with learning 3D modeling in Aspire, and your videos are the only ones that made things click for me, well done sir ! Go Habs :)

[dafyddgould]

Wow, this is a great video explaining how to do 3d model, ive been worried about wot to do but now feel bit more confident at testing my arm and doing one

thanks

[marceloferman]

Excellent tutorial, it's very useful, thank you very much 👏

[johncalvey]

Omg I'm so glad I just found this. Like others I've been struggling with some parts of aspire and this just made so much sense to me. So grateful will definitely be checking out your other videos. Thank you very much

Nicely done clean deep model that almost looks like a 3D model, not a bas-relief.

By the finger and the hat. Could you have cut the vector at the fingers, then offset by .001 and than rejoin the vector with the body and continue with the hat?

[TheKevphil]

No Bezier Pen tool? _Geez, _ what a lot of work! Also, you should really have sped up that part of the process, anyway; most people know how to click with their mouse.

First time watching this software sir.... Very helpful... Can we export it as stl and obj files?

[reysaw]

great video, may i know how to export it out as a B&W relief carving image format

[majesticreels]

Great video 👽 would the same steps apply for 3D laser engraving?

[divyatadoju]

Can you make a tutorial on potratrits models please!

[kaleemadamjee]

hi. why dont you just get the grey scale of the image and create a 3d model from it?

[viktorhugoheckenschutze]

hello, thanks a lot for the video, is there a way to import SVG files or any vector file?
