There is a famous ring worn by Bella Lugosi that has a movie version of Dracula's family crest on it. The ring recently sold at auction for quite a bit of money.
I looked high and low and was unable to find a decent copy of the crest- so eventually I had to illustrate and vector it myself. I saved the final version as a ".png" file and imported the crest into Photoshop where I added layer behind the shield to give it some texture (in this case a rendered cloud effect). I then resaved the ".png" and imported the image into CarveWright designer.
I then made an oval dome with an outer "edge" in Google Sketchup in 3D, which I brought into the CarveWright using the STL importer.
I placed my dome in Designer, then brought in my crest and sized it to fit the dome with a decent margin on all sides.
I then combined the two using Merge Style additive, which did a stellar job of wrapping the crest onto the domed oval.
This is my carving in some 3/4" HDU. I've glued it to some 3/4 plywood to give it some depth and because 1 1/2 " HDU is expensive!! I like to carve in 3/4 when I can and then glue to a thicker backing board to save on expense.
Now it'll get some paint!
