Today I’m going to try Morpholio Trace for the very first time—live—right here in front of you, and I’m going to use it to design and render a plan for a contemporary 3000 sf house. I’m a little anxious as to whether or not I’ll be able to figure out the scales, or be able to use the brushes to get the same rendering effects I love to get in Procreate, but here goes...
