Basic Bitmap Tracing and Node Editing 2 - Part 15 - Vectric For Absolute Beginners

Basic Bitmap Tracing and Node Editing 2 - Part 15 - Aspire and VCarve For Absolute Beginners
More down here ↓↓↓ Click SHOW MORE!

This is the 15th in a series of videos geared toward the person who has never worked with CAD or CAM in the Vectric Software before.

In this video, we’ll get back into the subjects of Bitmap Tracing and cleaning up vectors using Node Editing in the Vectric software. We’ll import a simple color bitmap into VCarve, trace the bitmap, then so some basic alignment. Then I’ll make a big mess in my quest to create a border around the artwork. Never fear – I clean it up in node editing.

As usual, if you have any comments or questions, please put ‘em in the comment section below.

Thanks for watching!

You are Great. Very easy and detailed explanation of various node s and tracing operations.

Thanks for clear speaking style and absence of "music", which make your content -- which is well organized -- easy to follow. As others have said, your presentation style make even the longer videos very worthwhile, from the very beginning all the way to the very end. Your videos are much better than others covering similar topics because they don't just repeat what's in the manual, they actually let us watch and listen 'over the shoulder' of an expert user showing us how to get real work done and problems solved. You're a natural teacher, in the best sense of the word. You've improved my life -- thanks!

So many videos, so much to learn, so little time... Mark, thanks you so much for all the time and effort you have put into these videos for people like me, its just plain outstanding!

[edwaynick]

Mr.Schmidt nailed it. Thanks for the good work.

Thankfully, there is someone like yourself who explains and answers issues with Vectric Software that the average user can understand. Don't get me wrong, Vectric does a decent job. They're Just Not You and for any problems that I run into. I've learned to quit referring to their Help Files and Videos and to Checkout if you've run into the same issue and Solved it. I swear though, that Vectric is the ONLY Software producer that Doesn't Have a Relational Database where one can peruse to obtain information about there products. Whenever I get asked a question I can't answer in the related Forums. I Point them directly in your Direction. Thanks for all of your video explanations, Once Again.

Thanks you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge of V-Carve with us. I just started a couple of weeks ago with my daughter and it hasn't been too bad. But after finding your channel and watching a few of your videos, I find it so much easier to use and my skills are improving much faster than when I was just going by trial and error on my own. Again, thank you!

[MRK-wqrf]

Great tutorial, I learned a lot. Thanks for doing these!

[stevegronsky]

Once again you've created a gem. I noticed your opening disclaimer is now in text rather than audio. After watching many of your previous videos this is a nice touch.

Already loved you for your great videos, but you won my heart just a little more by knowing that ~ is called a tilde. (I was a Spanish teacher)
