Need Help!- MasterCam Art

[christodoulos77]

I have a question about Mastercam art. Can I convert a relief art I did in MasterCam to a gray scale picture?

[cadcam]

The only way to do that is to use the Snapshot option and save it. this will make it a JPG and bring into say Paint Shop and change it to grey scale.

[christodoulos77]

No, this is not what I want. Based on the height is the color. The deeper point is black and the highest is white.

I guess some people refer to these as "lithophanes" and I am not sure how to do this in mastercam...

vcarve is known for this functionality....

[christodoulos77]

I know that ArtCam has this function to convert a relief to a grayscale bitmap.

[cadcam]

A grey scale bitmap I conseder a picture file. So I think you are asking to do this.
Now if you are asking how to take a picture and change to a grey scale and coin the image in mastercam that I know.

Your answer DOES not tell me what you are looking for.
I know how to use the software but not sure what you are looking for. please try to give example of more info.

[christodoulos77]

Ok... I attached a picture so you can understand what I want to do.


I hope that helps
