Vectric Easy Create

[AdamTinkers (Adam W)]

Has anyone used Vectric Easy Create to create a TIFF file then used Carbide Motion Pro to finish it and then successfully cut out a project? Thanks

Converting photos to create a 3d model in carbide create

does anyone have a simple way to convert photos to grey scale then to an stl to be used in carbide 3d there are so many sites that don’t work correctly as far as converting and i am not looking to buy a program like Vectric so if anyone has any info it would be great…and carbide it would be great if you could do this in your programming without having to jump thru hoops on the internet… just saying!

I provided a TIFF from Easy Create and @WillAdams converted it to a PNG and then loaded to CC Pro.

I’m struggling with the same issue. I created a 3d image in Easy Create, downloaded it as a .TIFF file, but don’t know how to get it to do a 3d relief carve in Carbide Motion. I tried converting it to an STL file, but can’t get Carbide Create Pro to recognize it. Any suggestions?

Carbide Create imports PNG, JPG, and BMP files for texture maps, so a .tiff would need to be converted using a pixel editor.

For STL files, Carbide Create only imports Binary format STLs:

Importing ASCII format STL files

If presented with a set of STL files in ASCII format such as: [image] which will not import into Carbide Create Pro, they must be opened in a 3rd party tool such as Microsoft’s 3D Builder: [image] and re-saved as a binary STL which will then import as expected: body_binary.stl (1.8 MB) [image]
