Texturing

Post by andkal »

Hi- New to Vcarve, Has anyone posted settings for texturing with differant ballnose diameter bits that work well? Also is there an explanation someplace of how the settings (step over, etc. ) effect the outcome?

Just trying to speed up the learning curve

Thanks in advance,

Andy K

Hey Andy,
Welcome to the Vectric Forum :D

The texturing for me was trial and not really any errors :D

i just keep playing with the controls and preview the toolpath until I see something I like.
i know this is no help to your question but there are so many variables associated with this neat function it would be difficult to say "this is what you do to get this".
Once you find a setting you like save it so you can use it again....

Andy, Check out the Vectric How-To page: http://www.vectric.com/WebSite/Vectric/ ... how_to.htm There's an example on how to do Pocketed Texturing that might be of some help.
Take it easy.
