This is great. I will have a look later tonight for sure.
I used a NASA shape-from-shading algorithm as the basis of a Python script I wrote for Blender3D back in the early 2000s to turn photos into 3D bas reliefs for carving on my 4'x8' router table. I felt pleased to get something out of my tax dollar!
I was experimenting with wavelets to analyze EKG data (there's some cool stuff out there with this). I'll have to see what happens to a time series EKG data using compression!
- sgc 4y agoI like the cnc carving bit. I have long thought about setting that up for myself, but I am worried I will almost immediately run out of projects. What are some of the things you use it for?
- eggy 4y agoI was making carvings for the wooden kayaks that were built from 4mm CNC'd Okouame plywood I cut on the same table. I also started a business, The Wooden Image, where people could upload a photo, preview a rendering of the bas relief created from it and order it to be cut on some 1" maple board. Staining was extra, but really brought out the relief and made it pop. I received a call from a guy who created bronze plaques for gravestones and he wanted to buy my software. Nothing ever came of that probably due to the fact that I was on to the next thing back then. "thewoodenimage.com" shows on the internet archive, but not with the photos and the upload photo section...
