Changing 2D graphics to 3D Releif Carvings

Hello,

I want to change 2D graphics say from Corel and other sources "BMP's mostly", to 3DM and than into MoI. I than want to bend and bow and blow up on Z axis it's features to render a 3D version and than import into a Cam program to generate the machine movements and router into wood.

I watched all the video's and reviewed most of the documentation for MoI. My question is do you recommend this modeling software for that purpose. I do not understand why you say it is not a good rendering software when it displayed my imported graphic's OK.

Mastercam Art has a package starting at about $ 6,500 that is tailored for that purpose, "2D to 3D renderings".

I am just overwhelmed at the possibilities with Moi, but I would be on a huge learning curve and have not accomplished even the simplest "transform" tasks.

Please let me know if MoI will work well for this purpose.

Thanks,

Bill Wulkan
