π In this lesson, we dive into the holiday spirit by creating custom 3D ornaments and snow globes using a mix of free clip art and cutting-edge technology! You will learn how to use Vectric's new AI-powered Easy Create tool to turn a standard family or pet photo into a detailed 3D model. We walk through the process of assembling these models inside VCarve or Aspire, covering essential techniques like component clipping, adjusting base heights, and a "pro tip" for fading 3D edges using the multiply combined mode. Whether you're making a wedding keepsake or a festive gift, this project is beginner-friendly and perfect for anyone using VCarve Desktop, Pro, or Aspire!
