My machine is home built X Y Z. I use Vcarve program to create all the text and carvings. There is lots you can do with it. Vcarve gives me the Gcode to send to my cnc software Mach3. I do lots of signs and plaques. I also have a small program called BMP to CNC. Here you load in a photo and you set the depths and outer adjustments. It then created a 3d type image of the picture using shades of grey colours. You can set the depth of white or black. This is more like engraving in a heavier scale. But its not a true 3d. What I am after is to produce a 3d image about 300x300 and only 6mm in height. I don’t want a full 3d depth. It’s only for pictures. I want to import a portrait picture. Draw/model the solid faces then send it to Vcarve.

I am looking to model say the fish.
