The Autodesk® Fusion 360® software combines locally installed and cloud-based tools. It enables users to use parametric modeling and surface modeling techniques to create 3D designs. The Autodesk® Fusion 360®: Introduction to Sculpting with T-Spline Surfaces guide focuses on surface modeling and how to effectively use the FORM contextual environment of the DESIGN workspace. Through a hands-on, practice-intensive curriculum, you will learn the key skills and knowledge required to create organic, highly shaped, and visually appealing models.

Software Version

As a cloud-based platform, updates are frequently available for the Autodesk Fusion 360 software. This guide has been developed using software version: 2.0.6670. If you are using a version of the software later than version 2.0.6670, you might notice some variances between images and workflows in this learning guide and the software that you are using.
