Scalloping technique

Post by invest0rs »

Hello all. I have seen some older post as it pertains to scalloping techniques but, with updates and advances in Aspire, I was wondering if anyone had any good thoughts on how to create a scalloped pattern along a given path? Any help would be appreciated.

Even though the posts and videos are older the technique remains essentially unchanged.

I suggest practice, practice, practice.

I just did a lot of scalloping so four models would have the "same' scalloping pattern.

Version 10.5 allows you to save your settings file name and use those settings across all your files.
I found this to be very helpful.
My previous scalloping effects very less than satisfactory, but I really like the results I have gotten.
