Re: These are my pictures in wood
Xxray, are you using PVC or Aspire to do this sort of thing?? Might be that in Aspire the toolpathing is different.

Well all I can say it what I observe ,,, If its such a minute amount that it isn't even perceptible, I don't consider that a lift.

You are right it does retract, I got mine set to .10 so not much, but retract after each line it does.

Re: These are my pictures in wood
Thanks for sharing the ACABADO BRILLANTE finish you used it certainly looks like you hit it spot on to me and I will sure give it a try.
Thanks

Re: These are my pictures in wood
Please tell me how you did this. I have an Inventables X-Carve and I have loaded Java and UGS on my computer. When I go to Vcarve photo tutorials and try to carve their sample photo's my machine only skims the wood. I have looked at their video's and have set my machine up just as they say. Also yesterday my machine went from skimming a photo sized area to only carving a 1 inch by 3/8 inch area and it is still doing that today. I have made sure I have inches in vcarve and inches in my UGS check marked. I am at a loss as where to go from here. Can you help?
Re: These are my pictures in wood
I could sure use your help. I have the Inventables X-Carve and I am trying to carve photos using the v carve photo software and UGS. Using their (v carve photo) photo I tried to carve the woman photo, my machine carved from the bottom right to the top left at a 33 degree angle (set at .02 inch depth per v carve suggestion) and all I got was angled lines. Nothing resembling a photo at all. No texture, no depth, no anything. If you can give me any guidance here it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: These are my pictures in wood
To make the photo appear you will have to add a stain or paint and then lightly sand the surface to show the contrast. Have you done that yet ?

Re: These are my pictures in wood
Keralesh, you would be better starting a new thread to ask your questions as the guy that first posted on this thread hasn't been on the forum for years
