VistaSculpt recently released a MASSIVE software update that completely redesigned the user interface and added powerful new modeling tools — including one of the most important additions: the Scene Explorer.
In this long-form tutorial, I walk step-by-step through the NEW VistaSculpt interface on Mac, explain where everything moved, and show how to use the Scene Explorer to combine multiple models into a single composite STL file.
This workflow is a game-changer for CNC users who export relief models into Vectric vCarve or Aspire, allowing cleaner toolpaths, better model control, and fewer headaches downstream.
