Adding text to the 3D book in the clipart

Post by MWinn »

Hi,

I was just wondering if someone could explain/point me to an example of how to add text to the open book that is included in the clipart in VCarve Pro 8.5?

Obviously the book page is not going to be flat,

thanks

MWinn

The tutorials will get you going, I'm sure. In addition, the FREE Magazine Rack Vectric project uses the same technique for adding lettering to contoured "book" pages (or magazine pages, in this case). You can download the files just to take a peek if you want.

Here's the link:
