    MattBon's not so low-relief sketchbook

    Trying to find time to learn some more full 3D skills in ZB, so advice appreciated.

  5. Did you get any replies to this thread?

    I might be able to help you, with the caveat that there wouldn't be much room for a revision cycle within the fee that you're offering.

    Kind regards

    I've heard of Aspire, though I've never tried it.

    Most of my clients use Artcam to generate their toolpaths from models, as it's just so well designed for it. However, it's also about...

    Hi Bob,

    To be honest, the brushes that you use are up to you. There's no fast rule.
    I use customised versions of claytubes and damstandard, with hpolish for smoothing out areas.
