Hmm, I guess it is the nature of the greyscale then.

I guess I can mess around with it and find the smallest size I can before I run out of memory.

Now why the heck am I running out of memory. This beast has 8 gigs in it and a quad core!!!

ARGH!

I did take it into photo shop and reduced from 188mb to 5mb. The question is, how do I take that bitmap and do a greyscale machining on it?

Hello, I have a shaded greyscale of the topography of Minnesota. I would like to convert this and cut it in 3d. I have tried making a component out of bitmap etc etc. Just not getting a good model. Any tips and tricks? The .tif file is 5 mb. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8627131/minnesota.tif If you want ...

So is this going to be a new division of Vector Art?

Full 3d models for indexers???? I know it is needed!!!

He is there in Texas as well (like Texas is a small state) lol!

Bill, that looks really good. Now trace the Shire Horse component. Copy the Bitmap texture back into the working model and cookie cut the area where the Shire horse is using the Shire Horse traced Vector. Save this bitmap texture as a component. Copy the original Bitmap texture a second time and th...

Unless you get one of those new fancy transmissions you still double clutch.

I also use the 4X8 sheet of the pink foam from Home Depot. We get it for $7 a sheet! LOL! :twisted: I use the dust collection and no issues what so ever, however, I do have the metal spiral dust rite hose which is grounded to the cyclone which is grounded to the earth ground so no static build up.

There is a glow in the dark powder you can mix with paint.

Sorry have not hooked up the naquida generator or made the DHD yet.

Yes, the roughing pass on the stargate is nothing like a normal roughing pass. Only a couple of Z moves in the roughing path so USE A GIANT END MILL! Live and learn right? I never even noticed the slits until I unloaded it. I will pay a couple dollars more to get it from my local mom and pop shop wi...

Since everyone is on the foam kick. Here is a stargate: 46" diameter 8 hours to cut out of 2" pink foam running 350 ipm with a 60% step over and a 1/4" end mill with a .25" depth of cut roughing tool path took 3 hours. using a 1/4" ball nose 10% step over set at 350ipm finishing tool path took 5 hou...

If you get the dimensions figured out, would you like to share? I am building a wooden boat and these fold up chairs would fit great under the deck to take out and sit on the beach.
