Is it possible to take a 3d model from VA3D and convert it for use with V-Carving, I've got a customer who wants the look of a 3d panel, but at a fraction of the cost.
I have aspire, so if there is some tweaking or vectorizing I can do, I've got the software.
Thanks,
Daniel

Re: V-Carving a 3d model
Not entirely,
The customer brought in a photo of a door with a panel they wanted me to copy. I ball parked the 3d Carveing price, and they wanted more options, it's made up of several pieces I can pull off of the flourish and ornaments set from VA3D which I already own, I guess I'll see if I can find matching 2d, thanks.

Re: V-Carving a 3d model
I'm not sure what you mean.....
You showed them a 3D carving and the price is too high so they want the same picture V-Carved instead?
Have you thought about tracing the photo of the relieft panel they gave you to get a useful set of vectors for V-Carving. The V-Carving is never going to look anything like the 2.5d no matter what you do, hope they understand this. Would probably take a bit of editing and hand tracing to get it done up.
OR
They gave you a photo of a panel and it is too expensive to get a 3D model made from it?
You said you have Aspire, is it too expensive based upon the time it will take you to create the model. Maybe you can have VA3D make it and you reduce the price you pass on to the customer if you think you will use the design again and hence spread the cost of the creation over a number of jobs.
OR
The price to buy all the elements for the door panel is too high?
Again as above, is it possible to spread the purchase price over future anticipated earnings instead of just this one job.
