Whisk: Part 1 (wires modeling) (SE/CX)

Christopher Tyler Jul, 15th 2013 0 Comments
This beginning modeling tutorial shows how to create bezier curve data (using the blend tool) in Adobe Illustrator and take that into Design 3D SE (and CX) to create path extrude objects. It then shows how to arrange the resulting artwork to create the wire components of the whisk. This tutorial is done in Design 3D SE7, but can also be done in CX.
