In this Aspire-only lesson, we take the Fall Leaf Picture Frame project from lessons #249 and #250 and give it a realistic 3D upgrade! 🌿 Learn how to create a detailed, dimensional version of the leaf design using Aspire’s powerful modeling tools. You'll use the Create Shape, Two Rail Sweep, and Extrude & Weave tools to give your design lifelike curves, vein details, and depth. Even if you're new to 3D modeling, this lesson walks you through each step with practical tips along the way. STL export will be available in Part 2 for VCarve users.

Note: Download the project files for this lesson in part 2 (lesson #252).
