Converting a die-line profile to a 3D model, Part 6

Christopher Tyler Aug, 23rd 2019 0 Comments

In part 6, we import the prepared Adobe Illustrator die-line art for modeling in Design 3D and full ‘dice’ up the regions into quads and triangles in preparation for UV mapping and folding.

In this second part of the die-line tutorial series, I show how to use a combination of Illustrator Pathfinder function tools and Design 3D tools to properly ‘dice-up’ a polygon mesh for use with subdivision surfaces.
