Another requested model, the CN Tower in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This model stands just over 10 1/2" tall and is made from Proofgrade Maple Plywood. The tower section between the observation and space decks is made from a No.2 Dixon Ticonderoga pencil, part of one anyway, and the spire is a 2mm round toothpick.
Settings are proof grade cut, draft score, HD graphic engrave for the title badge, and SD graphic engrave for the architectural information.
Awesome! I wish I knew how to create something like that. I miss home which is Ontario.
you should think about selling the file, as I would purchase to print the model for myself!
You are a lot closer to that ability than you might think. It all seems so foreign at first, but as you work in your design software your understanding and ability come very quickly!
I tried Inkscape because it is free and powerful. Illustrator is the professional choice for many, and I acquired an older copy to learn but Inkscape is my go-to. Mainly because I already knew the fundamentals of Inkscape.
Anytime I don’t understand the use of a tool or process, a YouTube search will turn up a video tutorial on it. I predict you will be surprised how quickly you learn it! The community members here are very helpful, they got me over the hump - which in the rearview mirror wasn’t as big an obstacle as my ignorance made it out to be. “The door is unlocked, you just have to put your shoulder to it.”
Many professionals with access to Illustrator choose Inkscape as well.
Neither is “better”, some people just prefer the interface.
For the laser, there are less complex tools like Corel and Affinity Designer that many people use as well. You don’t need all the features of a pro design app to design for the laser.
