12-27-2023 Q&A: Stacked text methods, creating dotted texture, deleting fonts, casting website to TV, turning 2D to 3D, realistic award ribbon, photo to design with diamond drag bit.

In this Q&A Meetup, we covered a variety of CNC and Vectric software topics, from creating 3D stacked text to achieving realistic textures in designs. Participants learned about the pros and cons of different text stacking methods, strategies for managing and deleting unused fonts, and techniques for converting photos into carvable 3D images. The session offered practical advice for enhancing award ribbon designs and tips for using a diamond drag bit. A valuable resource for anyone looking to refine their CNC projects with advanced design techniques.

Question Answered in this Q&A:

• 00:01:00 - Watched my lesson number 49, creating 3D stacked text. He says he's done stack text using the pocket weld method. Can you please tell me the advantages slash disadvantages of doing each way in VCarve Pro?
• 00:06:05 - I'm trying to recreate the dotted texture on this badge. Struggling with making the pattern random and not so consistent.
• 00:13:36 - Over the past years, I've added fonts that I no longer need. Is there a way to delete the unwanted fonts?
• 00:17:51 - Has anybody been able to cast Kyle's website to their TV?
• 00:20:26 - What lesson slash class would you recommend to learn how to turn this into a 3D image for carving?
• 00:29:37 - I'm trying to make an award ribbon for a local show. Any suggestions how to make it a little bit more realistic?
• 00:54:52 - Not sure how to get the actual photo converted to a design and be carved with the diamond drag bit.
