gradient software

[davidbf]

I'm looking for gradient software that is easy to use & free. I would like to try to carve a small set of plates & saucers with a carving of my wifes late
Grand-Mother on them. I appreciate all the help everyone has given me in the past.

Thanks

the new 3d software may just be what you are looking for. I haven't had much time to play with it, but if you update your software you can use it in demo mode. The "puff" feature is what you want to use. I made this up in about 2 minutes just now when I saw your question, but I cannot save it/share it as I don't own the software quite yet. It looks like the 3d tools are definitely your answer though.

It's new software and costs $199 from Carvewright- you can get it by calling up (713) 473-6572, buying it from the store online, or getting it from one of the vendors out there like Frank (fwharris) or many others.
