Creating the illusion of 3D with flat VCarved designs

Post by Tony Mac »

Paul Nielsen from Cartersville, GA has created the images below using VCW and has kindly offered to show them on the Forum & web site.

It's quite amazing how the optical illusion of 3D can be created by vcarving onto a flat surface!

The files for these designs can be downloaded and opened in the Full Customer release and the Free Trial version that's available from http://www.vectric.com.

Thanks for the info. You certainly put some effort in to answering my question and I appreciate it. I am old enough to remember those pencil and ruler days and I do not miss them. CNC is so much better.

hello larry...

and those pencils and rulers built todays world... even designed the wv bug, rolls-royce...

but seriously... these patterns, mainly where you can see the squares stretching out from a z level... there's two way... in photoshop you can "distort" a grid, or you need to use some cad-cam like finite-element analyzer... approx...
this distortion occur for example, when you put on a lathe a discshaped sheetmetall, and try to "rolling" it to a half sphere, a dish...
or make it on a press and hold down around the shape the material...
like as made the kitchen pot...... then the metall will distorting

and of course there's the "conventional" way (ruler,circle) to work it out in a program like aspire vcarve...
i was drafter for a short time...

thanks
viktor
