Do you read tutorial "ArtCAM sculpting masterclass"(making face from photo)?
I think that it's very difficult to make good model using only Photoshop. I use 3d software to make model and than import 3d model into ArtCAM.Result you can see here.

[electric2u]

what 3d software do you use? is the pitchure did you just bitmap it and then clean it up a little or is there a lot more to it

[redox61]

Models which you've seen are modelled in 3ds max and than imported into Artcam in stl format. I can send you some of these reliefs if you give your e-mail adress. You can use any 3d software including free ( Blender)

For that "pheasant" I just used "picture it! 9" Which is vary basic. I wouldn't even recommend it considering Corel or Adobe are so much better. Checkout "Blender" http://www.blender.org/ An "alpha-map" works great for converting to relief. There's a pretty steep learning curve with it. But the results can't be denied. Doesn't really help for converting a picture. But as far as modeling its great. Good luck.
