    Relief models needed

    Does anyone know if there is a website that sells 3d models of wood carvings or reliefs? I'm not too hot with 3d cad and so I'd like to cheat!

    Just itchin' to carve, are you Kong?

    Any kind of preference and size in mind? Do you want to do full 3 axis 3d or 2.5axis?
    First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.

    Never done it before, I just downloaded visualmill free, so something nice and small to start! My machine should be able to cope with 3d, albeit very slowly, 'till I get those motors sorted!

    Hi Kong,

    Try this site for a 3d Jesus:
    http://home.alltel.net/mmharper/
    He makes some interesting things too.

    I'll add a plug for my software, MeshCAM. It can import both STL and Bitmap images and generate a toolpath from them. It has a couple of roughing options that, I don't think, FreeMill has. It's currently a free, unrestricted beta. You can download it from http://www.robgrz.com . I'd love to hear some feedback if you have a chance to try it.

    Thanks guys, but no joy so far, I would like a rosette, or something like you would find on a cabinet. I've been hunting the bigger 3d sites, but can't find anything!

    Kong,

    Is a rosette a femail rose? Just joking!!

    In your hunts for what you want, if you come across a greyscale image of something that resembles what you want I may be able to help you convert it to a wire frame model or a least a geometrical toolpath.

    Good Luck Champ!!
