Given a pixel image:
It can be imported into Carbide Create Pro as an image:
(we will be using v8 here, but the same principles apply to earlier versions)
First, draw in geometry to define where the 3D model will be made:
Select the image:
check the import:
and adjust as desired:
Done
Since we want the ocean to be included, add that:
Apply
Done
Apply toolpaths:
selecting a suitable tool, a #202 Ball-nose to start with roughing.
Then, apply a 3D Finishing toolpath:
Note that we go down one size to a #101, but stick with the Ball-nose.
The 3D Finishing toolpath may be adjusted as desired — increasing stepover is a usual approach, or an additional 3D Finishing toolpath may be added, at a different angle, or using a smaller tool:
(the above does all three)
Iterate and adjust until a suitable 3D preview is arrived at:
