Default Re: pretend engraver

Wow, great Rhino skills! Getting a water tight pattern with that level of detail is no easy feat. What are you planning to do with the material behind the hearts (under the baguettes)? Perhaps a matt finish? I really like the pierce (gallery) work under the head, my kind of stuff fer shure.

I'm in the same boat here. I want to learn to engrave well. I've been designing rings with scroll work in Rhino for years and have just my best to finish them up with a push graver. I'll usually mill my Rhino patterns (Roland MDX-40 with Protowizard attachments) and the unmillable rings get sent out and printed on a Perfactory that is installed with the finest detail lens.

I joined the forum here (yesterday) to get the skinny on the Airgraver, buy one, and then learn how to use it. I totally can't wait to get started
