Another option for people who already use Sketchup is a free extension called FaceSVG. It's a bit tricky to figure out the first couple of times, but once you get it, it's pretty convenient. I have subscribed to Shaper's Studio product, so I import the SVGs that I create in Sketchup and add the "instructions", like cut type (inside, outside, pocketing, guide), along w/ the depths, offsets and bit sizes...just to keep me honest when I'm cutting. It's a nice combo, and since I'm and intermediate Sketchup user, and design all my projects there, it saves a learning curve and some time.
Also recommend Figma. It’s designed for digital graphic designers who build apps and websites. Also vector-based. And it’s both free and much more intuitive UI. Less clunky than Adobe Illustrator or other options.
Thanks for the recommendation, Ben. I know Figma from work, but I would never have thought of it as a tool to create SVGs. I might need to give it a try if I have time. Thanks again!
Great video my friend! Find someone amazing explaining how to use it? That’s exactly how I found your channel. 😁 Great explanations on how to go about finding or creating download le images to Shaper. I guess it all comes down to value for the money. Like Studio, and Adobe you have to ask yourself am I going to get my moneys worth for the cost. Do I produce enough with this tool to justify its price.? I’ve tried basically all except Adobe. I bound not justify the cost. I love Affinity. I used it to create a lake scene that I converted to SVG for a project. It came out beautiful. I purchased Studio, and love the seamless transition to Shaper. I wanted to create simple templates, and so far I find it worth the price. Great video my friend!
Thank you for your kind words, Henry :D Yeah, I don't think there is the perfect solution out there, everyone needs to evaluate what value they get for the money, usage frequency, usage type etc. then go for a solution. I should use Affinity more, but then I always move to Illustrator, just because I know how to use it. One day I will have more time to test it out more... :D
Great video! There's so many tutorials on SVG creation for Shaper Origin out there, but they're not up to Jenner yet. Perhaps you might do a video about how to do _depth_ _encoding_ in SVG using one drawing tool of your choice?
That is a great idea. But honestly, I didn't even know you can do the depth encoding in the SVG directly. Do you have any reference material about that? I am happy to explore this, figure out how it's done and make a video. Any pointers are welcome.
I found it out and made this video: Encoding Cut Depth with Inkscape for your Shaper Origin with Jenner #shaperorigin #jenner #cutdepth ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WgUh_7jGddU.html
Keep up the good work. Looks like shaper is dedicated sessions focussed on the benefit’s 3:28 und justify the cost. I will be there injecting my opinions an concerns. Hope Tuesday see you there. Rick.
Hi. Thank you so much for your kind feedback. Glad you find the videos helpful. Regarding Core Draw: I am sorry, I have heard the name for sure, but I have never used it, hence I didn't mention it.
@@Woodensoul thanks for your reply. I think its probably because its Canadian but i have used it for 25 years through its various versions in the UK. give a try. its far more intuitive than illustrator. keep up the great work. Don’t stop bashing away at the autopass debacle 😉😁
