In this video I show a step by step process of using a prompt in @Midjourney to find a Owl and Chiclets image suitable for a 3D model and import that image into @VistaSculpt to turn the image into a 3D model (stl).
I then go through a step by step process n @vectric Aspire software to import the 3D component created in Vistasculpt and transform it into a full model that can be carved to make wall art or art that can sit on a stand.

The following key elements will be covered:
➡️ Prompts used in Midjourney to create the image
➡️ Importing and and settings in VistSculpt to get a good model that can be imported into Aspire
➡️ Several component and model manipulations in Aspire to achieve the desired model. The following are demonstrated:
👉 Importing a stl model into Vectric Aspire
👉 Using Tilt to Adjust the model before creating a live edge
👉 Using a Two Rail Sweep to create a live edge component for the model
👉 Using Scaling, Fade, and Tilt to adjust the created live edge component
👉 Creating a Sculpting Brush
👉 Using the sculpting brush that was created
👉 Using Mirror Copy Tool to create live edge on right side of model
👉 Creating a Model from Visible Components
👉 Using a Two Rail Sweep to create and underlying arch component under the combined model
👉 Adjusting model thickness to fit in material as desired
👉 Using Sculpting Tools to improve the eyes of the owls in the model
👉 Proper setup of the model to ensure a successful carve of the model
👉 Creating the toolpaths to carve the model
