Vectric User Group Meeting speaker announcement for Gary Johnson
In 2024, I was honored to be invited to speak at the Vectric User Group Meeting in Austin, Texas. My presentation focused on practical painting and finishing techniques that add depth, realism, and character to CNC-carved projects.
The session drew on techniques developed through decades of designing, carving, and hand-finishing dimensional signs. Topics included building color in layers, highlighting carved textures, creating greater visual separation, and using paint to bring digital carvings to life.
Sharing ideas with other Vectric users and learning from such a talented community was a rewarding experience. Events like this provide a valuable opportunity to exchange techniques, explore new tools, and help makers take their carved work to the next level.
