Those bits would work better for that project if you stoned the tips down to a rounder profile. If they're extremely sharp, then you'd have to put the tool passes very close together to avoid a striated surface. Or you could use a small ball-nose cutter.

What kind of software are you looking for? Is it to make the models, or to translate pre-existing models into tool paths? These are different sorts of programs, although you'll sometimes see both functions combined in a single package.

The v-bits will work great, You may want to remove any material and the flats you can with a 1/16 or so flat bottom or ball end mill to cut down on the machining time, then finish cut with the end mill. Aspire or Artcam
would work great for this project. So would v-carve I'd imagine. Inventor with HMS would also work great but has a higher learning curve. Have fun!
