Re: Any AI masterpieces ?

Very impressive. :wink: Thanks, the detail in these really are astounding, especially considering the only materials are white plexiglas & black paint. I got guys on laser forums begging me to do a tutorial but I'm going to pass on that, they can figure it out just like I did. Most of it, like CNC,...

Re: Any AI masterpieces ?

Tried on 1/8 plexi instead of 1/4, I like the 1/4 better because 1/8 actually lets in too much light when backlit, making it a bit washed out looking. Here I am just holding it to my monitor for a little backlight, which accounts for my thumb in the pic. Sorry these are always sideways btw, pretty a...

Re: 3D Carving Times

Lots of variables as others have pointed out, 2 things you can do real quick to minimize time: * Use the largest bit possible to get the detail you want. If you use a 1/32 TBN, that will take alot more time than a 1/16. Alot of that depends on the size of the model, you for instance might get away w...

Re: Any AI masterpieces ?

This guy has a pretty good tutorial turning an AI generated image into a stl, uses aspire too, I have had limited success so far AI CNC ZoeDepth, shallow relief from AI images https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6GvUdONkFI I've looked at ZoeDepth and it seems to be very powerful. My dig against it is ...

Re: Any AI masterpieces ?

I don't have Aspire, so my results are somewhat limited. Here is my first attemtp FWIW. I just carved it in pink foam and sprayed it grey. Fun, but certainly no "masterpiece". :D So that is a AI generated image carved on cnc ? Not bad, I experimented with foam early on, results were great but it wa...

Re: Any AI masterpieces ?

Still on a roll with these things, I am going to standardize the size and make corian bases for them, maybe encase some in clear epoxy, perhaps backlight others.

Re: Any AI masterpieces ?

Ok this is nuts, never knew this stuff existed but I ran into this rainbow scratch paper and I thought hmm, wonder if my laser would scratch it ? So I started off with 5% power, figured it wouldn't take much for my 80w fiber laser to burn through paper, but I ended up jacking it up to about 20% - Ot...

Re: Any AI masterpieces ?

Doug, you inspired me to start messing around with this ai stuff. Interesting to say the least. One of the issues with creating a relief model is that the images produced typically have shadows in them. Models should not have shadows in their shapes, the light does that. Been hunting around for an ...

Re: Any AI masterpieces ?

No luck on a carving yet, did adapt one of these AI images to my fiber laser though using a scratchboard ,, Used a bit too much power, a bit washed out looking but very nicely detailed

Re: Help with difficult 3D carve

Welp, this thread once again proved the old adage: Opinions are like rear ends, we all have one. well, better off in the long run that people learn from their own mistakes and go through rigorous trial & error rather than trying to have their hands held with every little thing, I guess 40 hour cuts...

Re: Any AI masterpieces ?

Most of the image creators will reject requests with trademarks, trademarked characters, and living people. Well in my case, I think my request for stockings & daisy dukes set off their Perv-O-Meter, which I thought was ridiculous since you can see more than that on Disney these days ,, But I under...
