bear 3d

[rodhead]

Hello

Can anyone tell me how to cut a bear out. I'm looking to do a full figure of the bear ( front back top and both sides. Is this possible? I have a shark from rockler and I use vcarve pro 6. I ready to pull my hair out on this project.

Thanks
Rod

You're going to need Cut3D or Aspire to do a full 3D model like that I'm afraid.

You could do a relief type model from VectorArt3d.com using the free machinist software and VCarve but that would only be the front half and wouldn't be a true depth.

Hello

I had cut3d, i purchased a model from vectorart3d of a bear walking. I wasn't able to do the full bear though. I would buy cut3d again if I could get this to work.

With reliefs models you are just getting the side shown in the pictures. They are not complete 3D models like a believe you are picturing.

With some models you can use Machinist or Cut3D and set up mirror sides as I did with the Great White Shark model:

But as I look at the walking bear models on the VectorArt3D site, these would not be suitable for this.

Do you know where to find a suitable bear like the vector 3d one?

If you want to do a full 3D you'll need a file like one of these - http://www.turbosquid.com/Search/3D-Mod ... ammal/Bear

I purchased a bear from there and it was 3ds file but I can't get it to load. Any suggestions?

[Adrian]

Do you get an error message when trying to load it?

Are you trying to load it into VCarve Pro? You previously said you had Cut3D, but could purchase it, again...

You can't load a 3DS file in VCarve.

I tried in cut 3d. I don't get a error, it just won't load.

[Adrian]

Don't know what to suggest other than sending an email to support@vectric.com and see if support have any ideas.

I can load 3DS files into Cut3D without problems so maybe it's something to do with that particular file.

[rodhead]

ok thank you, do you mind saying where you get your 3ds?

[Adrian]

http://artist-3d.com is the one I've used the most.

Here's a free file from there that loads in Cut3D ok for me.

I found this bear on Google 3d warehouse and using Google Sketchup was able to change it to a "3ds" file and was able to import it into Aspire and after some modeling I did a double sided cut. I also checked to see if I could load it into cut3D and I can. Gary

The one I was using was from turbosquid. When it downloaded it was a zip file. when I unzip it, it goes to a rar file. cut 3d doesn't open it after it is unzipped.
