Re: Marvelous Designer

Ok, so I've been looking into this and it seems like maybe point oven transfer might be the way to go.... either that or alembic. I'll continue to research. If anyone actually knows the procedure or has hints or tips that might help me in the meantime, I'm all ears :-) Cheers !
