I’ve used illustrator a lot. I think it’s an incredibly handy tool in more ways than I could summarize. I like using it for text over Fusion’s inbuilt tools, as it can create cleaner lines that give less issues.
How’s it going with learning Fusion? It might seem overwhelming, but really, you’ve already been doing it in illustrator, the hard way. I mean, you create curves, you extrude them up. If I had any advice to give, it’d be to break things down into simpler chunks that are easier to get your head wrapped around. Build off what you do know.
In a lot of ways what you do know is a strong foundation for how Fusion works. Sketching things in 2d and extruding them!
