Emboss Tool Results

Issue
The Emboss Tool produces unexpected or poor results on certain models.


What This Means

  • The tool is designed for full 3D, high-relief models
  • Low-relief models, such as Aspire-created shapes or imported clipart, may not emboss well
  • Using the tool on unsuitable models can result in distorted or weak embossing

What to Check

  • Confirm the model is high-relief 3D rather than low-relief or flat
  • Ensure the imported data is compatible with Emboss Tool requirements

How to Fix

  • Use the Emboss Tool primarily on full 3D, high-relief models
  • For low-relief designs, consider other modeling or carving methods
  • Test on a small area before applying to the full model

Tip
For best results, save the Emboss Tool for high-relief imported 3D data—this ensures crisp, clean, and accurate embossing.
