I am excited to share the first tutorial of my new series:
_*3D Lettering with Plasticity*_
In this series, we'll dive deep into the world of typography & lettering, exploring the works of old masters and using them as reference images for converting those awesome pieces of 2D art into 3D lettering. If you are a typography enthusiast like me, you'll have fun combining typographic art with 3D modelling, so let's dive in!
