Vcarving into a 3D model

Sometimes it's better to leave the fine details off of the 3D model and vcarve them separately. I'm sure this is common knowledge for some but when I started modeling I didn't realize how useful the inconspicuous little (Project toolpath onto 3D model) would be.
If I had modeled this flag with the stars and text, then carved it with even a small tapered ballnose, it wouldn't have turned out very well.

The flag is very well done. Can you share how you created the waviness of the flaf.

Hi Phil, I just made a black and white jpg of some waves and used the (create a component from bitmap) and Vectric magic did the rest.
