🖼️ In this creative lesson, learn how to transform a real photo into a cartoon-style carving using AI and Vectric software! Kyle walks through how to use ChatGPT to generate Pixar-style cartoon versions of your original images and then brings them into VCarve or Aspire to create sketch carvings and 3D models. Discover how to use the Sketch Carving Toolpath, fix depth issues, clean up bitmap models, and even sculpt or smooth them for optimal CNC results. Plus, explore an external tool called Vista Sculpt for easier 3D conversions—perfect for pet portraits, wedding photos, or personalized gifts!
