In this course, instructor Theresa Jackson goes beyond the basics of what Dimension can do, sharing practical tips designed to help 2D artists break into a 3D workflow. After covering basic concepts about working with 3D models—including how to tackle common challenges that can crop up when you’re working with third-party models—Theresa dives into Illustrator workflows.
