⚓ Embark on a detailed 3D modeling journey in Vectric Aspire to create a decorative half ship wheel! In this lesson, Kyle guides you through transforming a standard ship wheel clipart into a unique wall-hanging piece. Learn advanced techniques such as using vector boundaries to precisely clip 3D models , splitting components , and permanently clearing areas outside of a component. Kyle demonstrates how to draw and edit vectors from scratch, including creating perfect circles and intricate spindle designs, utilizing tools like node editing , the fillet tool , and precise alignment methods. Discover how to use the "Spin" modeling tool to generate 3D components from 2D profiles , manage component combine modes like "Add" and "Merge" , and efficiently duplicate shapes with circular copy. Finally, Kyle shows how to bake components for a single, unified 3D model and export your creation as 3D clipart or an STL file for use in other Vectric software.
