I'd be interested in knowing how they change the pictures into G code. Anybody know? I have software called BobArt that uses a digital file, such as a jpg, and converts the raster file into a vector file. If it's just a picture the software uses grayscale to determine depth. The max depth is assigned by me, not the computer. The files can be manipulated after conversion to a vector file. After I'm satisfied with the picture the software converts the vector file into G code. There many programs that do this. Google for raster to vector conversion. ERS |

Too bad it looks like crap from a graphic artist's POV. Works pretty
well for average people, though. (pls. don't flame too much, I'm just drunk) |

There was a guy that got drove off that did stuff way better than that. I saw it in operation and it was very cool and I volunteered not to reveal the details. |

About a thousand years ago, I helped fix an early concept. It was taking a
sheet film and scanning it with a photomultiplier tube looking through a hole. To put it short - the density determined the Z drive. The work was on a drum of sorts that was turning on a lathe. The Z was running down on the compound line a 224 TPI screw cut - but the Z was a electro-magnet driven into the black lacquer brass sheet. I suspect something like that here - density is depth. A little crude, but not far off.

"Martin H. Eastburn" quickly quoth: About a thousand years ago, I helped fix an early concept. It was taking a sheet film and scanning it with a photomultiplier tube looking through a hole. Within the last decade, I was working with a buddy on Baird Gamma Cameras which used beaucoup photomultiplier tubes to count the hits, then wrote the data to nice 1/8" thick, 14" diameter hard drive discs. This was an ancient, pre-nuclear magnetic resonance imaging system with pre-DOS computerlike thingie attached. Switches on the front panel of said computer allowed us to load a whole byte into memory. I guess it beat an abacus, though... ------------------------------ Gator: The other white meat! ------------------------------ http://www.diversify.com Comprehensive Website Development |
