Re: 3D camera project

No. Not sure of the minimum size, but probably the size of a kids head. I still need to mess with it more.

Re: 3D camera project

Rhino is free from their site right now for Mac because it is beta. Blender is a free program that does the same thing only it isn't as friendly and I am not that 3d swave. I either saved it or exported it as .obj from the program. I will have to check clay out.

I saved the pics as .obj's and had to bring it into the program Rhino and adjust the axis so it was straight on for best cutting.

Re: Windy Ridge

Beautiful work and collaboration! .. I am working on a sign with a very similar layout. I have been struggling with how I was going to carve the foam to look like rope. Well duh, just use rope. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

Re: My CRAZIEST inlay to date.

I work for a taxidermy company. One would shoot a sheep then have it mounted, in this case the sheep looks as though it is walking down a cliff of rock. The rock will set on top of this base and the sheep on the rock. This piece will be used as an advertising piece at trade show this winter.

The main piece is cherry 28" tall by 24" wide. The other inlayed woods are Wenge, Birdseye Maple, Leopard wood, and Chakte-coc.
