Photo Vcarve abilities?

[DustyWoodChips (Dusty)]

Are there any abilities within CC to do photo vcarve? I see that Aspire has the ability to do so…

Can you use Aspire to create the file then run same file on Carbide Motion to cut the piece?

Just curious…also looking for new things to do on my CC machine!

Here’s a video of a photo carving using Aspire. I’m not sure if you’ve seen it, but I thought I’d share it in case you haven’t.

Please see:

Halftone generator on Cutrocket

This was announced/demoed in a limited way a while back — had occasion to reference it in a support ticket recently, so here’s the text from that: We have a halftone generator which will accept black and white images, so you will need to convert any image into a black and white picture. That is the only type of picture the generator will accept. Help file: Halftone Generator - Help

Both Vectric software, VCarve and Aspire, has the photo feature and works well.

will the files created in Ventric, VCarve and Aspire work in Carbide Motion to produce the work?

Yes, see:

Yes, that’s my video and I use Carbide Motion as my post processor.
