This 35 page tutorial describes two variations of "thread painting" designs using the 3D Sketch software. The first method uses the Freehand tool to "fill in" areas of a design. The fairly open, large leaf design used in the exercise can have a variety of looks by using fabric paint as explained in the tutorial.
The second method uses a combination of the Freehand tool and the Horizontal zig zag tool to fill in the design, resulting in a smaller, denser design more like the traditional freehand machine thread painitng.
The tutorial includes the designs used as examples, in both finished and "in progress" states. These can be viewed in Sketch using the Draw tools to see exactly how each stitch of the design has been made.
The techniques used in this tutorial are mentioned briefly in the User's Guide, but not in detail. Design density and stitch length have the potential to be real problems with "thread painted" designs so I have devoted a section to editing and adjusting density and stitch length. By using both Stitch Editor and 3D Artist/Studio, I found I could automatically manipulate the stitch length and density of the design to eliminate potential disasters before they happened. 3D digitizing can also be used to make outline designs to "fill" in 3D Sketch. Even the old PCD software has features that can really enhance a 3D Sketch design.
Anyone purchasing this tutorial should be reasonably familiar with the basics of the Sketch software or have worked through the Sketch 1 tutorial..
