#252: 3D Modeling a Fall Leaf Picture Frame (Part 2)

Note: You must be a member of the Learn Your CNC Academy Community to watch this replay. Benefits include weekly Q&A Meetups, weekly project lessons, monthly CNC challenges, an active community of Vectric users, past replay lessons & project files, and so much more!

In this lesson, we continue refining the 3D version of our fall leaf picture frame project using Aspire. You'll learn how to finish modeling the leaf veins using the Extrude and Weave tool and how to mirror them efficiently. We also create a realistic center frame and explore sculpting tips to blend components together. Bonus modeling tricks include how to add curled leaf tips, how to simulate a pressed “pillow” effect, and how to vary designs using multiple component levels — giving you endless creative flexibility! 🍁
