Photo tips for faces
- Front-facing or slight three-quarter view, eyes open, even light.
- No strong shadows across the face; no sunglasses.
- Crop to head and shoulders before uploading.
Face settings
- 25 mm face: a classic portrait relief for plaques and panels.
- 75 mm face (CNC Premium): deep 3D volume for murtis and busts.
Files
In the 3D editor you type the width in mm; the height follows the photo's proportions, so nothing is stretched. Then you choose the relief height (Z) and the base thickness, and download. Download it as STL or OBJ (all plans), as a Vectric Aspire 3D Clip (all plans) or as a native ArtCAM / Carveco .RLF relief (CNC Pro and Premium).
Questions
Can I carve a family photo?
Carve one face at a time for the best result: crop each face and make a relief for it.
