Re: Aspire approach to PhotoVcarve
I tried James's technique a while back to make some textures but I never thought about using it for Photo V-Carving. That may be because I have Photo V-Carve? At any rate, I tried it today and it worked just fine. Thank you rick CNC and James for posting this.

Re: Aspire approach to PhotoVcarve
I have never been able to get anything decent out of PVC, so I am looking forward to trying this after the holidays
Cheers

Re: Aspire approach to PhotoVcarve
I inverted the file and got a decent photo, I will switch to acrylic today as the solid surface even at 1/8th inch thick did not let enough light thru.

Hi Jim,cabnet636 wrote:I inverted the file and got a decent photo, I will switch to acrylic today as the solid surface even at 1/8th inch thick did not let enough light thru.
There might be a misunderstanding here. The technique outlined in this thread is not to achieve a lithophane effect (light shining through a photo). It is for a special "lined" effect for surface carving on wood or other solid material (and is a very shallow cut). Then applying a glaze finish to enhance the photo details (due to the glaze remaining in the grooved lines).
A lithophane procedure is altogether different.
Here is a link to the proper tutorial for creating lithophanes with Aspire:

Takes a bit to trim several hundred vectors, but pretty cool! (Plug for next version - trimming multiple vectors at once )
I like this a lot - cuts quick for a alternate to lithophanes for special occasions!
