⚽In this lesson, Kyle demonstrates how to design a custom sports-themed sign, building on a previous basketball sign project to create a new baseball sign. He covers importing and tracing bitmap images, replacing traced circles with perfect geometric shapes, and meticulously trimming and joining vectors for a clean design. Learn various offset techniques to create precise borders for text and graphics, and how to use layers to organize your design elements. Kyle also shows how to create pocket toolpaths for different colored areas and the crucial "Project Toolpath onto 3D Model" option for seamlessly wrapping 2D vectors onto a 3D dome shape for a more realistic baseball. This lesson is packed with practical tips for achieving professional results and previewing your projects for clients.
