Hi All
I wanted to give this sign to my son & daughter in law on Mothers day. I put this together by piece mealing what I have learned. I would appreciate any helpful ideas that I could make this look better. If ask bud did a video on this I would greatly appreciate the link. I thought it looked pretty good for the 1st try, I look forward to any feedback you can offer. Thank you in advance

I made some changes, see if it looks better. What I did was set the depths for everything at the same level and then adjusted the heights to get the layers look. Also added small draft to the text.
Note, when I opened it up I got notifications that I did not have the fonts you used so I am not sure if they defaulted to another font or not.
Also, the stars are set at a height of 999 which suppresses the height of the letters. If you reduce the height of the stars to, say, 100, you'll have a lot more control over the heights of the letters.
I fancied it up a bit. Note the heights and depths of the text in relation to each other and the swept carve region. I didn't have the same fonts so I used what I thought looked good and included it in the post. It's free on the internet also. You can make changes or do with it as you wish.

Hi Steve,
My old buddy.....Thank you so much I liked how you fancied it up it looks so good. You always come to my rescue and now I am actually seeing what everyone is telling me. I guess it will take a little bit of time to learn the ropes. Again thank you so much.................I am sure they will like it.
Thank you

Hi Steve,
I really liked what you did so I tried to save it and got, file can not be saved due to the following unlicensed features: Advanced 3D, If I don't have that I cannot get the finished product like you have? Is there a way I can keep most of it? As I am still in the learning mode and I am trying to keep my costs down, I hate to spend $200-300 for the 3D program. As I always I thank you so much for your help.

If you intend to make more of these kind of carvings you really should get the 3D add-on.
Hi Steve,
I love how it looks, once I get it carved then maybe I can talk my husband into buying me the 3d add on, as he could see what I could do with it. Thank you for the copy I can use and I will post probably sometime next week. Really appreciate it.
