Question about Carbide Create Pro and Relief Carving

I am wondering what bits that I should get for carving bas-reliefs in wood with my Nomad 3 using Carbide Create pro - will the software recommend the best bits, or do I need to specify the bits? I have the software but have yet to install it, and my Nomad is not due to ship yet.

Normally for 3D toolpaths folks use a succession of Ball-nosed tool in suitable size(s) — for example you’ll need to choose the #101, then the #111 and if you wish the #121 (depending on part size/geometry) — it will also be necessary to set the stepover to match the required level of detail.

Thank you, I bought the Nomad kit ($190), with all three ball nose bits and some v-cutters.
