Textures in the new CC Pro

Post by cusoak »

Here is a picture of a piece of clipart that I got when I upgraded to VCP10 from Design and make.
I would like to know how to create the vectors to make this in to a house sign that looks like the picture.

If it's clipart that's all you should need except for the name and address and stuff

What I don't know is how to get the texture of the wood set up in a toolpath.

I got it figured out I mess around a little then used the Bitmap trace and then there were vectors to carve.
Thanks for the link.

That's a 3D component so you should really be using a 3D roughing and finishing toolpath with it.
