STELLA!!!

I had the opportunity to visit with a group of friends both old and new this weekend.  It's always inspirational to see what others are doing.  One person, in particular, has been knocking it out of the park with his design work.  His name is Joe Diaz. He's part of  Diaz Sign Art 

He recently won the CorelDRAW International Design Contest with this:

I mentioned that I thought it would be a wonderful 3D piece, and he said he'd been thinking that as well.  Before I left for home, we discussed the idea of doing it as a joint piece.  We've been discussing how to generate files, and how to  divide the pieces into layers.

We're going for a combination of  2 1/2 and 3D.  Joe has already turned Stella herself into a 3D file, and I'll be assisting in converting the vectored portions.  It should be a fun project and I hope you'll follow along as this new version of Stella comes to life.
