Love the smoothing technique ! 😄 happy new year!

[@3DPENDEN]

It makes sense to work it while it's still soft. It's not a "cure all" but it helps a lot and saves time. Happy new year to you too.

У вас классный канал, на русском ютубе такого нет. И у вас классный коврик 3D mate, которого нет в России. Я его ищу очень давно, но его нет и никак не заказать. Спасибо за ваши идеи. Ваши работы-шедевры.

Thank you. I am glad the channel is helpful.
