Learn to 3D model in Vectric Aspire. Episode 1- Convert a 2D bitmap image into a 3D model.

In this video I show in depth how to convert a bitmap image of Jiminy cricket from Pinocchio into a 3D model. I use one of the best software applications for 3D modeling for CNC, Vectric Aspire. This method will work with just about any image. This is episode number one of a multi-part tutorial series on 3D designing in Vectric Aspire Version 11.

Thanks for watching our latest video. Let us know in the comments if you have suggestions for future videos regarding Vectric Aspire or CNC's in general. If you have any questions regarding this video please let us know and we will try to help you through it.

[@magerkyle]

A little slower and zooming in on where and what you're clicking on would help a lot.

[@danroscigno187]

I second the Bob Ross comment. That was the best tutorial I have watched. Thanks so much!

[@DurandsDesigns]

Glad it was helpful!

[@BigJoe173]

You’re like the Bob Ross of 3D modeling! Nicely done sir!

[@rogdotcom1]

nice work, I've struggled with learning 3D modeling in Aspire, and your videos are the only ones that made things click for me, well done sir ! Go Habs :)

[@marceloferman3804]

Excellent tutorial, it's very useful, thank you very much 👏

[@christianhenryhuamanipanaq291]

Excelente y muy agradecido por compartir este tutorial, saludos desde Peru.

[@johncalvey96]

Omg I'm so glad I just found this. Like others I've been struggling with some parts of aspire and this just made so much sense to me. So grateful will definitely be checking out your other videos. Thank you very much

[@DurandsDesigns]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nationalschool5884]

Excellent sharing informative video Have a good day, success in life

[@dafyddgould9485]

Wow, this is a great video explaining how to do 3d model, ive been worried about wot to do but now feel bit more confident at testing my arm and doing one thanks

[@DurandsDesigns]

Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@sandu2925]

Thank you Sir! TNice tutorials helps alot !

[@DurandsDesigns]

Glad to hear that!

[@rcairtechuk5695]

hmm lovely job very well explained Thank you so much

[@cnu73]

Nicely done Bro.....a clean deep model that almost looks like a 3D model, not a bas-relief.

[@DurandsDesigns]

Thanks for watching.

[@Michael-bc2op]

thank you pal

[@sandybanker3213]

Thankyou

[@dusanrajh5025]

Hvala.

[@majesticreels9056]

Great video 👽 would the same steps apply for 3D laser engraving?

[@reysaw]

great video, may i know how to export it out as a B&W relief carving image format

[@viktorhugoheckenschutze4481]

hello, thanks a lot for the video, is there a way to import SVG files or any vector file?

[@hmatyas1]

By the finger and the hat. Could you have cut the vector at the fingers, then offset by .001 and than rejoin the vector with the body and continue with the hat?

[@divyatadoju]

First time watching this software sir.... Very helpful... Can we export it as stl and obj files?

[@TheKevphil]

No Bezier Pen tool? _Geez,_ what a lot of work! Also, you should really have sped up that part of the process, anyway; most people know how to click with their mouse.

[@prairiefinish]

I`m new to Aspire. How do you remove the background of the image so there isnt even a white background?

[@divyatadoju]

Can you make a tutorial on potratrits models please!

[@kaleemadamjee2764]

hi. why dont you just get the grey scale of the image and create a 3d model from it?

[@bubba6945]

is this method of creating a 3d image file from a bitmap image only be done in aspire or can it be done with vcarve pro

[@DurandsDesigns]

Brian, this method will only work with Aspire. You can import 3D models in V carve, but only create them in Aspire.

[@JeffCalloway]

Hi, Could you do this on an ipad with a Apple pencil. Just trace the image? Not sure if there is an app for that. I am trying to find the most simpliest solution for an old fart like me

[@DurandsDesigns]

I don't think they have a native app for iPad that I am aware of. However you could use a remote desktop app I would think to control your computer from your iPad.

[@leeg2796]

MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@silvita2011ful]

Every ti a friend of mine ask to teach them how to use soft soft I share them the link to tNice tutorials YT video tNice tutorials helped so it will help

[@gfdggdfgdgf]

Can't you just import a vector and use those shapes?

[@DurandsDesigns]

You could do that if you had the vector that you wanted. This method is if you want to create a vector from a normal image.

[@gfdggdfgdgf]

@@DurandsDesigns good to know that, thanks!

[@estebanespinabarro8337]

I cant even find out how to make mistakes lmao

[@OOAK-Ireland]

absolute no idea what you are doing at certain points. we click here and then go to... its not really a learning video but more a sample of what you do...

[@rogdotcom1]

I disagree, I found it very informative, but then again, I have some knowledge of Aspire, do you ? I suggest you learn the program then view this video.

[@jerrypierce8965]

@@rogdotcom1 I felt exactly the same way. I did like what he did with the skin and moving the nodes with the arrow keys.

Great video and tutorial but NEVER try and make to sell ANY Disney Characters because Disney CAN,HAS and WILL sue for Copyrights infringements. PLEASE don’t take my word for it,Research it
