Nice! Don't you just love those Vecter Art patterns?

I am doing some pretty detailed work with Navy collar devices. Namely the CPO/SCPO/MCPO anchors. I have tried importing them in from a jpg file but it is not detailed enough for what I need. How do I get the detail such as in the elk.

Don, this was a purchased 3D pattern. Look around the forums for instructions on greyscale and shading (there's alot, that's why I didn't link to any).

pkunk, I am not buying anymore of these patterns in dished format though. As you can see the edges lose their details (back hoofs, etc). The eagle I downloaded looks better (not dished).

I think the dished is designed for a full fledged large CNC carver.
I haven't tried one.
