    Great Video! Just what I needed! Photoshop experience did make it a bit easier to digest. Getting into laser cutting/engraving so learning Illustrator, lightburn and the actual hands on burn process/settings- always a bit intimidating being loaded with a new tool set to learn but I was in Game Design for 15 Years, did a little bit of everything. You NEVER stop learning new tools/skills in Game Dev! One of the big things I learned is that the intimidation of learning a new technical tool set like this is what keeps most People from every pursuing their dreams. The irony of that intimidation is that you only have to learn it the first time once- brushing up on forgotten skills after that is usually pretty quick/painless.

    One of the best tutorials I have ever seen! I remember back before everything was on RUclips, having to try to learn something like this from a book. It's amazing how in a couple minutes of watching you do something you explained what would have been extremely hard to explain otherwise. I almost never bother to download exercise files, but for this I did. Great way to show the difference between the curvature tool and the pen tool. I had no idea when using the pen tool you wanted to go horizontally or vertically with the ... whatever the "bends" in the arcs are called. Thanks again - I have been downloading tutorials on tpb, and honestly the quality of "paid" tutorials seems no better thn what is on RUclips!

    When you turned the grid on, how did the background become transparent behind the fountain pen? I can't seem to get that to happen on my end, and the fountain pen clip still has the white background with the grid on either side of.

  • @joshallard6525
    @joshallard6525 7 месяцев назад

    Thanks for this! I was able to recreate the pencil without issue but I'm a stuck on the Pie Graph. Any hints on that one? First I drew a circle then a rectangle to get the line in the middle then I tried using the polygon tool to create the triangle slices but I can't figure out how to make one triangle filled, one just a stroke and one with the open curved edge.

    • @guydavis9537
      @guydavis9537 5 месяцев назад

      In the expanded toolbar there is a pie chart tool, fill in the grid with the percentages you want, for this sketch 10,20,20,50. Afterwards you can ungroup and select each segment to colour them.

    I also set the dimensions for the grid as you did and my dimensions came out much different. My gap in the pen is wider and instead of 5 spaces to the edge I had 7. Not sure where I went afoul. I set everything the same as yours.

    Hi guys, if anyone could kindly advise, I am stuck on 24:50 of the video, I am able to create a rectangle over the “pen tool”, however whenever I click the selection tool, it does not allow me to select both rectangle and pen tool - therefore being unable to crop the needed item.
    Would appreciate any advice, I’ve spent an hour or two trying to figure this out 😢

    • @humzaqazi5359
      @humzaqazi5359 5 месяцев назад

      Anyone else struggling with this, I found an alternative way, open the template separately, drag it down with the selection tool, having two open documents on one page, under Object - find crop, highlight what’s needed, press apply in the properties side bar. Bobs your uncle 😁
