〰️ Dive into the fascinating world of parametric wall art! In this lesson, Kyle demonstrates how to transform any 3D model into stunning 2D slices that, when assembled, create a dynamic 3D effect. Learn how to generate unique ripple patterns in Aspire, or import existing 3D models for VCarve users. Kyle shares a time-saving technique for slicing models into individual components using guidelines and the "model cross section" tool. Discover how to clean up messy nodes with the "curve fit" tool , efficiently process multiple slices, and integrate mounting systems like French cleats for easy installation. You’ll also get tips on adding text to your parametric designs and preparing files for CNC routers or laser cutters. This lesson unlocks endless creative possibilities for unique wall decor, shelves, and more!
