An advanced class for making vector-based objects. For intermediate and advanced users. Must be knowledgeable of all of PI's tools and their functions and able to edit path nodes on your own, as this is not covered. Most of the lessons concentrate on the painting and shading of path objects for a 3D look. Students should have the ability to work independently from the written lessons as some of the lessons call for making objects entirely on your own.
