How to create this type of image for 3D Carving
Basically you need to
-
Open your image in a graphic program such as coreldraw, photoshop or something similar
-
Convert your image to grayscale
-
Finally invert your image and you will be all set

@BrianSaban not even close
thats a 3d model saved as a depth-map, aka height-map

tutorial on making with blender, free 3d software
I make all my 3D images in gimp. Here’s a youtube video that I made a long time ago.
There’s samples of what I’ve done on my web site: www.cncproductionwork.com
@AlanMalmstrom I am getting a “this domain is for sale” message
second that.
You’re correct, but that would be for 3d printing (additive) and such. A cnc milling program, for example, Easel reads the depth by shades of grey and doesn’t need a full converted depth map (I could be wrong). But my way should work fine in that aspect, I’ll give it a test in aspire and double check it.
@BrianSaban The OP didn’t specify Easel.
I put in my old web site by mistake. I’ve fixed the link.
True but the process i listed works on all cnc programs, I just tried it in Aspire and it worked fine. You can even export it as a 3d .stl model file. It just seems Blender or Zbrush would be overkill for 3d carving. Give it a try, you’ll see what I mean
Here is a quick vvv.stl (9.4 MB)
of a random photo I just made in aspire using the workflow i posted above, and the z depth can be adjusted smaller or larger.
I use Zbrush to do that
Thanks to all.
sorry Brian thats not it

I’m not sure I’m hearing right, this is unbelievable, I’ve been seeking for a long time to s how to convert photo to 3d, somay I ask this method here will develop something that I can take into vcarve pro and develops tool paths for cnc, or will i need a aspire ?ty ahead of time I’m praying
Gday Brian,
What do you save it as in PS?
cheers
