    Default Height pattern

    Some time ago, I believe Al asked about a height pattern showing gray scale for a pattern. I have made up such a pattern, for you to download and look at. Plus I have included 2 images in PNG format. One without text for importing if you like, so you can use it in PE. The other with text showing the tool height if this shade of gray was used. I need to explain tool height so everyone understands what I am talking about. Tool height is the height of the tool from the base of your carving. Lets say your carve is .25" deep. Then using the shade of gray for .01" will give you a depth of .25-.01=.24" from the top of the board. If you use .5" deep, then you will get a depth for that same shade of gray of .49" deep. Tool height is from the bottom of your carve region.
    With that said enjoy the pattern place it on a board run your cursor over each section and you will see the depth mentioned above. Use this to create your heights in a photo editing program knowing you will get the exact height you want for each area you shade with gray.

    Really a great tool and I now understand a whole lot more about the relationship of the carve depth and the shades.

    Thx, Rick H

    For those not understanding, go back in time to your coloring book days. Instead of a color you use shades of gray. Now go to the internet and look for coloring books images. Download them, and fill in the various section with shades of gray. Once finished add a little Gaussian blur (1 or 2) to the image. This gives it some roundness. Save the image and import into designer. Now practice, and remove the black lines making them the same shades of gray, this time do a little gradient on the various sections. Keep at it, and you will fine out you have made a great patterns. Alan has some tutorials on this very thing. See this post by George http://forum.carvewright.com/showthr...-with-The-Gimp for more information.

    Dbemus, you are welcome.

    Here is Alan's video on youtube showing how to do the same thing using layers and gradient.
