Is it possible, oval recess with sides that gently rise

I don't know about mach3, but linuxCNC lets you open a bitmap and cut it ?

My Cut3d lets me open a bitmap and ten run it through Mach3 But I was wondering what softwear is available to convert a picture and create a 3D relief out of it .....Any suggestions anyone ???

I have done it and for sure it can be done using Photoshop. I am not sure if you can make it with Corel /Paint/ .


Basically you do this:
Workflow Technique #051 @Digital Outback Photo

Said in other words you make the image BW. Use a mask. Blur it. Then clean the blur where necessary using the mask. And invert it/ the BW/ if necessary to achieve what you want high or low.


There is 30day free trial, so you can play with it.

inkscape is free and can create gadient fills/shading
