【面白動画　How to turn a 2D picture into a 3D model for a CNC Machine. Basic 3D modeling on Vectric Aspire】2Dの絵をCNCマシンの3Dモデルにする方法。Vectric Aspireでの基本的な3Dモデリング

hey what’s up everybody so today we’re
gonna take a look at like a beginners
tutorial on how to create your own 3d
models now we’re using the metric aspire
it is the 9.5 version but it works for
basically every version the 10 and you
know the 9 and all that good stuff but a
lot of people what they do is they go
out and they try to find what’s called a
3d grayscale or a BMP map or a height
map or whatever you want to call them
and they want to create something like
this they want to be able to create
their own models now before we get
started I’m going to let you know
straight out this is for beginners only
there’s a ton of different ways to
create these models very detailed you
have a lot of different tools in your
vectric but you know even sculpting and
and just all kind of stuff but we’re not
going to go there we’re gonna do that in
later videos I just want to give you how
to turn a to a 2d picture into a 3d
model the easiest way possible so that’s
what we’re going to do create something
like this now I did this here we’re not
gonna do this one I want to show you
something a little bit easier so let me
show you how I do this so we got a brand
new vectric right here a new file that
we are creating we’re gonna click this
button right here
great file and let’s just turn this to a
10 and a 10 and we’ll just go to inches
just gives us a little bit more working
room and we’re gonna hit OK so now we
have our blank and then what I’m gonna
come over here and do is I’m gonna come
over and I’m just going to I’m gonna get
a drawing actually I’m gonna take this
I’m gonna drag it from the top left and
I’m gonna drag it down it doesn’t need
to be perfect because this is just a
tutorial on how to do this but what
we’re gonna do now is we’re going to go
to modeling and we’re just going to hit
apply and let me bring out my 3d mode
here and what that’ll do is it’ll show
us working on this at the same time in
the 3d mode compared to just the 2d mode
so once this loads up for some reason
taking a little bit longer there you go
let me click this again and we don’t
want that we want to bring this to a
flat height and I think we are pretty
good there I think that’s good let’s
just leave it at the zero or wherever we
were at but okay so now we have our
blank bourse not what we need to do is
create our model and what I’m going to
do is I’m gonna bring in a simple Mickey
Mouse and all I did was I went to Google
and I typed in Mickey Mouse drawing and
I’ll show you that here in a second now
this right here is our Mickey Mouse head
that we we are going to do and it’s
pretty basic it’s just black and white
and nothing special right and not a lot
of detail again this is a beginners
tutorial there’s much more advanced
videos that we’ll do later down the road
I just want to try getting getting you
started but yep you can see the Mickey
Mouse head now you can go in there and
you can create your bitmap right on the
electric aspire software but we’re not
going to do that because I just don’t
like it all that much so I always use
Inkscape and that’s what I’ve been using
on my 2d files for the car by creating
car by motion and it works just fine so
all we need to do is we are going to
open that up the Inkscape and it is a
free download 100% legit a lot of people
use it I’ve been using it I’m gonna left
click that I’m gonna drag my Mickey head
Mouse right there Mickey Mouse head
right in there I’m gonna open that up
and now we have our picture so now that
we have our Mickey Mouse picture what we
need to do is create a bitmap and that
is telling the Machine where to go and
where to carve and it’s basically your
codes for the machine so we’re gonna
left click on the Mickey Mouse head once
you click on the Mickey Mouse head
you’re gonna come up to the path and
then you are going to be able to create
that bitmap so there you go you can see
we clicked on it and then we’re gonna
hit path or get a trace bitmap we’re
gonna hit update and then we’re gonna
hit OK and now what happens we’re gonna
get out of this here now what happens is
you’ll have two pictures here and one is
your bitmap and one is the original
picture the one on top is your
map so this is what we’re going to keep
and we’re going to delete this one right
here and how do you say that it’s
basically go to after you delete that
last one you get a file and then just
hit save as and you can see down here it
says Inkscape SVG and you can change it
to whatever you want so we’ll go Mick
SVG carve and then that will save it to
our desktop and we’ll hit save and
that’s all you have to do now we need to
import this into our vectric alright now
that we’re back at the metric we’re
gonna open this in the way you usually
open files that you would get to two
little birdies right here create
component or input can import a
component we’re not gonna do that we are
going to go to import on the file

we’re gonna go import vectors and we’re gonna
look for our Mickey so am I see right
here is the one we save we’re gonna hit
that we’re gonna hit open and now you
can see it brought in our bitmap and now
we have to work on this right you still
see there’s nothing there so we need to
turn this into a 3d model now the way it
used to be is you could go to what was
called art cam and art cam was a really
popular product or a software that
people would use to make 3d models and
you can still buy it on ebay but vetrix
or not vetrix but our cam is no longer
there you can’t buy it off their main
website now I think they’re called car
vecchio and it’s like $8,000 for that
program so there’s other ways of going
around and doing that so and this is why
I’m showing you here and this might not
be the best way to do it but again it is
a beginners tutorial and there are more
advanced ways of doing this but this is
the easiest so far so what we need to do
is we need to come over here and we need
to start creating certain components
right and the way I usually do it is
I’ll start out with eyes first and well
let’s just show you so let me let me
bring this over here a little bit let me
bring this over here let me bring this
up here we’re gonna hit we’re gonna
start with the eyes
so I’m going to left click that and I’m
going to shift and then left click the
eyes and look what happens you’re gonna
come over to modeling and you know I’m
not really sure how I want these to be
yet I think I want them to be a little
bit beveled so what I’m gonna do is I’m
gonna hit apply and you can see now that
I have two little eyeballs but we still
have to fix those up and once you’re
done importing all these or modeling all
these you can go back and fine-tune them
but we’re gonna bring those down just
we’re gonna bring that up I want the
bevel I want to bring the base height
down just a little bit too much I don’t
want to go negative 0.10 way too much
way too much you just gotta mess around
with it here and we’ll go negative 2 0
this goes to 0 let’s see here 0 see what
happens we’ll hit apply yeah a little
bit better and again you’re going to
fiddle around with these here I’m not
sure why this is being so fickle when we
can apply let me see point 0 1 yeah I
still a little bit too much let’s just
go 0 and we’ll mess around with this
here once we get them all transported in
so there you go right in there
alright so now what we want to do is
we’re gonna click on this outside line
here is the outside of the eyeballs and
now we’re gonna get a modeling here just
like we did I think I want these flat
the base height we’re gonna try point 1
I’ll see how that works out and then
we’re gonna hit apply and okay I think
the base heights a little bit too high I
don’t know we’re gonna mess with this
let me try 0.0 again I think it’s going
to bring it right up to the board but
yeah so we’ll go 0.1 and again we’re
gonna fine tune these later we’ll hit
apply okay so that’s where we’re at with
those so not what I want to do is I
think I want to do the nose because
that’s easy let’s go ice out side we’ll
hit apply and then we’re gonna hit close
in that way and they’ll stay there and
then we’re gonna hit the nose here and I
want that to have a little bit of a like
a little bit of
bump to it so what I’m gonna do there is
I’m gonna hit model and I’m gonna hit
little nose bump right here and I am
going to hit apply so there’s your
little nose bump but again you can
change this up right here you know you
can make that like really rounded if you
want it’s really all depending on what
you’re going for I don’t know if I want
that base sight let me see if I can
change that base i20 again we’ll just
fine-tune here in a bit we’ll hit apply
and you know there you go
so let me bring that up a little bit I’m
just trying to get a base here okay
so now we got the xenos now you have the
mouth and the mouth you want that thing
to go inwards you do not want that mouth
to you know stand out so what we’re
going to do and did I save this by the
way let me see here my nose clothes the
clothes oh I didn’t save it that’s why
okay so we’re just going to hit this
again or hit that and it’ll save where
we’re at we got to hit apply I always
forget to hit apply and we’re gonna hit
nose and I’ll stay the same we’ll hit
apply and we’ll hit close now that’ll
stay so now what I want to do is the
mouth so I’m going to left click on that
and I’m going to model and what I think
I want to do I want that flat
we’re gonna go inwards here and we’re
gonna say mouth hit apply and let’s see
I think we need to adjust this a little
bit so there you go bring that down I
think it’s nope we gotta bring that this
way there you go
way too deep I think we want that it’s
like a 10.1 this hit apply and I think
that’s good
0.1 we’ll hit apply and it will hit
close and now we need the tongue so I’m
gonna left click on that it selects it

and we’re gonna go modeling
and I think
I want the tongue to have a little bit
contour to it let’s see here I want to
try okay cool alright so yeah I like
that you know I think that looks pretty
cool yeah okay so we’ll name this tongue
we’re gonna hit apply
we’re gonna hit close we’re just trying
to make the components right now we’ll
worry about these eyes here because I
don’t like the way they look but we’ll
fix I’m gonna strike that over so now
what I want to do is I want the outside
of the head and I think what we’re gonna
do we’re gonna hit model
we’re gonna go flat head outside
whatever name or whatever you want we’ll
hit apply and there’s the outside of the
head I don’t think we want that to do
this here let’s try that maybe maybe
we’ll mess around with it here we’ll see
how it looks and bring that down a
little bit just too much let’s bring
that down okay let’s just do a flat
right now and then we’ll all mess around
with it we’ll hit apply that’s why we’re
naming all these because we want to be
able to come back and mess around with
them okay and now what we need is the
inside of the face right here and what
we’re going to do is we’re gonna hit
model and I’m gonna go like this here
with the contour and we’re gonna hit
apply we’re just gonna see what happens
here okay so there you go it’s a little
bit crazy but we’re gonna fix this up
and we’re gonna see how that works out
we’re gonna bring this down just a hair
because it’s really kind of kind of
crazy I think maybe 27 looks pretty good
all right so let’s mess around with this
here and see what we can do all right so
now what I think I’m going to do to get
these eyeballs down here a little bit I
think what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna
left click here you know what let’s move
these two one
level so I don’t mess with other stuff
what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna we’re
gonna go I think their eyes inside now I
want eyes outside
we want these to come down a little bit
and what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna click
off these because I want to be able to
look into those eyes here when I’m
looking to Mickey’s eyes I think their
eyes outside yeah so let me right click
this I’m gonna move this I’m gonna move
to a different level new level level –
that’s fine we’ll hit okay
and then what I’m going to do here is
I’m gonna get rid of that head let me go
here to scale size and height and let’s
try to bring that down to I don’t know
50 percent maybe somewhere close forty
nine point six I think is fine and I
think that’s a little bit better so I’m
just gonna hit okay I’m gonna hit cancel
and then I’m gonna turn all these back
on I think that is fine again it’s just
trying to just a quick way so now what
we have is our Mickey head drag this
over here and what I’m gonna do first is
I’m gonna let left-click the outside
here I’m gonna come over here let me
scroll this over I’m gonna hit this
right here apply smoothing you can see
it automatically kind of does something
here now you can bring these out into a
45 degree angle if you want but I’m not
really concerned about that don’t go too
much if you got too much it’s gonna be a
little bit crazy but actually you know
what I don’t think that looks all that
bad I think we’re just gonna leave it
like this right here that’s until it’s
kind of cool it looks pretty good yeah
okay we’re gonna hit okay
we’re not gonna bake that yet let’s go I
just want the inside here we’re gonna
hit smooth
you know and I think I think that looks
kind of cool you know you can make this
more rounded if you wanted to again if
you got to smooth you’re gonna end up
with this you’re gonna lose a lot of the
detail but we’re gonna bring this down
here yeah I think I think this looks
good let’s go let’s go right there I’d
say that looks pretty cool I think the
base is up a little bit too high but
yeah I’m just trying to give you the
general point of this
so let’s hit I think it looks fine
actually you know what I want those ears
we got to make one more component here
and what we’re gonna do here is we’re
gonna go watch this I don’t like those
ears right there
so check this out we’re gonna go drawing
we’re gonna make a circle here where you
go and you can you can make that bigger
if you wanted to scale like this here
and then we’re just going to hit right
click and hit copy we’re gonna paste do
that right there and they’re gonna shift
that and then we’re gonna go modeling
here the ears weren’t looking right so
we’re gonna go with the concave here and
then what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna
bring them down like that we’re gonna
help why does too much okay I think you
just got a mess with it here we’re just
gonna bring this down a little bit more
we’re like 36% 27% and I think that’s
good and you can get a base height set
the base height at zero and you can make
these bigger they would probably
actually look better bigger it’s just
trying to give you a general idea that
you know you could do this so you know

it’s not perfect the the ears you know
they’re not gonna be perfect but again
it is just you know to show you you can
do this so we’re gonna hit apply we’ll
just call them ears apply
we’re gonna close it all right now you
can see on here your your 2d picture is
now basically a height map right it’s
telling you that you have contours and
you know grooves and all kind of stuff
that that machine needs to follow and
that’s basically what you’re looking for
that 3d grayscale BMP height map
whatever you want to call there’s a
million different things but that’s how
you do it so let’s close out of here and
I think we’re good with everything what
I want to do now is if I wanted to
create a tool path I mean I could make
this bigger if I wanted to I’m not going
to it’s just for demonstration purposes
you can go to tool path and let me
scroll this out of here tool ties and
then you can go to roughing and if you
want to only scroll that down here you
know we could go like this move my face
over here total path we’ll hit okay and
yep calculate blah blah I’m gonna bring
this over a little bit more and that
blocks way too big we can we can change
that again it is just for demonstration
purposes on how to model not know how to
set up your your size of wood or
whatever you’re working on so we’ll hit
free select ok select the tool path and
you can see this is what it would do
I don’t wasn’t going that slow but long
story short that’s you’re roughing so
once you’re roughing is done you’re
gonna go into your fine-tuning your ball
nose bit you’re gonna clean it up your
finish path and right here we’ll hit
close and then you can go into your
finishing by clicking this right here
and
whatever we’ll hit calculate I’m not
worried about the ball nose I’m not
worried about the size we’re just like
again what I said we’re just trying to
show you the basics of 3d modeling on
here and once that’s finished up it’s
calculating calculating calculating I
have a feeling it’s gonna go again
sometimes it takes a little bit longer
if you have some detail but okay I think
we’re done now okay and then we’ll hit
calculate we’ll run and this is what it
would look like after you’re done so
basically that’s about it you know very
basic very very basic 3d modeling but
you can’t do it so taking your 2d images
turning them into a 3d image pretty
simple you know and this is just a way
for you to get into that 3d modeling if
you wanted to taking those two DS and
turn them into 3ds and now you can
create what you want and again you know
there’s so much more advancement on here
if you wanted to you could go into
sculpting and you know just do all kinds
of stuff here you know you can remove
you can smudge you know there’s just so
much here we’ll just go like to pause it
we’ll go strangle let me see if I can
zoom that up so you can you can do all
kind of different stuff in here right a
lot of people make birds and trees and
and whatever if I wanted to smudge it I
could go like this and smudge and smudge
and some abstract art right there you
know if I wanted to I could smooth it
out let me click that you know those are
your tools you get to remove if you
wanted to you could adjust your
strengths you know you can go show
grayscale background and all that good
stuff but there’s just so much to do you
can toggle here actually to tell you
truth some people in New York would
probably buy this $700 is years I’m
printing out for you so and that’s it
guys and basically again this is your
most basic type
3d modeling right and we’ll just hit
this card because that’s not very nice
right it is basic 3d modeling and now
you have your you know height map and
you can do this with so many different
things you know your cartoons and all
that so pretty cool you know and again
you could have you could have done in
like a 45 degree or a 35 degree where
this comes a little bit more it’s more
smooth it’s not so prominent you know
you can do a lot of different stuff with
this and now you don’t get to go out
spend $8,000 on your art camp even
though it’s probably gonna work better
for you you can do it in metric aspire
so hope you like this video and if you
do please switch that like button get
subscriber because we’re gonna come up
with a lot more soon on this channel and
we’ll just keep learning together so
appreciate you stopping by will be back
soon guys
