I just finished another cool project 馃榿 I love the tribal designs, all about tiki, warriors, and other fun stuff
As you know lately I do more cut file designs for cutting machines like Cricut, Silhouette, Glowforge, CO2, Etc.
It all starts with a sketch then I do the vector design in Adobe Illustrator
For Cricut and Silhouette I save it in SVG format with all the layers stacked because each layer is cut from a different sheet of cardstock
For laser machines like Glowforge, I save it with the spread layers because all of them will be cut from a piece of plywood or MDF
The laser machine would use that vector path and cut that shape.
After that is time to do some simulation in 3D
I use Blender to convert the SVG into a 3D Object
Then I import that object into Maverick Studio and I add different materials and lights to create the final render for my presentations.
After the simulation is done I give the files for the test to a few crafters to make sure it all works how I intended for the files.
Example of real photos of the final product received from testers
Natural Plywood
Painted Version
Stained Version
For those who have a cutting machine and want to cut this design, I just added the files to my online shop on designbundles. Check it here Pixaroma Shop
Thank you for checking my work 馃槉 Have a great day
