Mecsoft http://www.mecsoft.com/ has posted a free version of it's visual mill software . ---It's basically an older version of their current 3D program that will export toolpaths . They also have a demo of the full blown version of visual mill 4 , but it can't produce toolpaths . The full version of the software is available at a discount from http://www.computersculpture.com/

Anyone interested in trying out this software? A friend just sent the link to me. No time to play myself, but if you could post thoughts after testing I would appreciate it.
Thanks

From the ImageCarve site: "Once the carving is done just apply stain, then sand lightly the entire carving. The white or lightest shades will seem to rise out of the wood and the darkest will remain the color of the stain."

The key word in that part is "seem". IMHO that is not a carving.

Perry.....

Where there is 'one', there is always another to look at, this has a lot to offer. I've used it with nice results......
