Which one?

[eelamb]

Attached are two images, the first is of a clipart image I used to made patterns shown in the second image. One pattern is an import into CW, the other is a 3d (2.5D) of the clipart image I made. Thus the question, which one do you like better?

[dbfletcher]

I like the contoured one better. If you can still clean it up a little more to make some of the feature "pop" more.. that would be even better. Esp. in the facial region. Great job thou on both.

I like the second one just because of the extra detail it shows, nice and sharp. Both look nice though.

Both are nice. Having to choose one it would be on the right.

One's my preference, but obviously your losing some of the detail - can you get some of that back by bringing the pattern closer to the surface (i.e., making the height, say, 999?)

Using the # 1 Photo you posted Eddie,
If it was going in one of my Grand Daughters Bedrooms
I would clean it up a little in CW Designer
and go with the one on the right, But of course that just me ---

Great job Ken! I like your style.

Here is one using the pic but trying to use the roundness of the first but getting some of the outline of the second. You really have two open pattern to even see the roundness cause its very slight. Also when you open it it may need to be inverted and lower till background falls away.Sorry one more thing if you make a carve region around it in designer and make it a little deeper than pattern it is like outlining it and make it stand out.

How did you accomplish that?

Guess I should have shown you what I am working with here. This is the 3d image I made from the clipart image. Doug I do agree with you on heights. I see problems with pattern editor when using STL files, where if you make the pattern .25" it looses details, or flattens the pattern out. Anyhow I appreciate all the comments, basically want to make up my mind about true 3d, if I am wasting my time. I know there is a lot to learn, and items like the ships wheel was fun, but making a figure is not easy.
