Aspire’s real difference is in the ability to draw 3D objects vs. He uses VP and Aspire so sometimes it might seem (like this one) that it won’t apply for you because he’s using Aspire but he’ll let you know if it only works on one of the programs. Mark Lindsay just did an update to his tracing bitmaps videos ( Bitmap Trace and Node Editing – A Quicker Approach - YouTube) - he’s worth checking out to learn how to do these. Once I get the hang of the bodies, I eventually want to start making the necks, which I think I will have to upgrade so a 3D version of something. Then it is a matter of fine tuning the vectors and then adding the cavities for the pickups/neck etc. I am able to import a jpg of a body outline, which is huge. More than happy to continue this conversation if it’s helpful I know where I want the carve shapes to start and end, but I can’t seem to figure out how my calculations get represented in Aspire.Īnyway I hope my reply is so late that you’ve made tremendous progress by now. I will be searching for an advanced tutorial for that.
Clipping in the modeling tab seems to be the answer - But I am still struggling with the way aspire represents heights of the 3d components.
I am now in the process of learning how to carve the shapes into the body - That’s proving to be a little tricky. I took a clear - zero-angle photo of the template I use for electric guitar bodies and imported it into aspire to use as a bitmap outline of the basic shape.īecause the precision is lost a little with that process, I manually created and located vectors for the various pockets for pickups, controls, neck, tremolo … The aspire tutorials have gotten me off the ground. That has consumed the last 9 months of my life, but I am happy to report that I am finally playing with my new-old equipment.
Then I experienced one of life’s setbacks in the form of a fire in the building where I work. As soon as I started to play with Vcarve and I quickly learned that the 3d capabilities are lacking - so without much experience I purchased the Aspire license.
I am very sorry for the extremely long reply time.
