#291: 3D Modeling a Cross with Hearts

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 dive into 3D modeling from scratch to create a beautiful, organic cross featuring intertwined hearts. We walk through a comparison of using automated AI tools like Vectric EasyCreate versus manually modeling the shapes for total customization. You will learn how to efficiently trace organic shapes using the freehand draw and draw line tools, master bezier curves, and leverage the powerful Extrude & Weave tool in Aspire to create a perfect overlapping 3D effect. While the full scratch-modeling process is an advanced technique specific to Aspire, we also cover options for VCarve users to import the final model or use AI shortcuts, making this an incredible project for anyone looking to create a meaningful, high-quality gift!
