Beki's Top Tip
Did you know that in Aspire you can easily create a vector cross-section of a 3D model in the 2D view using the measure tool? Simply select two points on the 2D view and the software will create a new vector that shows the corresponding cross-section of the underlying 3D model. Which is useful if you're working with broken 3D data that needs modeling.

It’s no trick, check out the video to see how to create a pumpkin model and then carve out the signature eyes and mouth that gives a Jack-O’-Lantern its personality!

CASE STUDY | Scott Ismail D&D Lord of The Rings Gaming Table

The works of JRR Tolkien (primarily Lord of the Rings) have been an inspiration to me most of my life, and I recently got back into tabletop gaming. That gave me a good excuse to try to design and build a dedicated gaming table for the group I play with. Considering the game (Dungeons and Dragons), it was a natural fit to make it in a fantasy theme.
