In this video Mr. Chris Pelletier shares his knowledge and experience of searching Artificial Intelligence (AI) and converting the art he finds into 3D models using Aspire Software.
This is a detailed step by step process where Chris demonstrates each step of the way. This is the most comprehensive tutorial I have seen to date on how to use Microsoft Copilot for obtaining unique art that can be turned into 3D models that can de directly used in woodworking projects - provided a person has Aspire software.
If you know of a more comprehensive tutorial on this topic, please share where the tutorial can be seen in the comments section of this video.
