BurrMan,

I have Bob-Cad3D Pro V24 with Bob Art (not pro, maybe soon) and I have an eye also on the CNCToolkit which is basically an addin for Max type software, I intend to use it with GMax at least in the beginning. By the way I don't have a CNC yet. If I ever do it would have at least a 4 axis otherwise I don't think I'll have one. It will either be a kit or my own design, something around 3' x 5'. I intend to use it for carving stuff like I've shown above as well as true 4 axis work. If I'm not mistaking, Bob Cad offer only 4th axis indexing but I'll have to verify this.

For now I'm stuck on learning how to do the kind of 3D design stuff I intend to do with the CNC. It's not promissing though because I have basically no clue where to begin, what to use both as software and technique and how to do it, all this in an efficient manner. I know the example I've shown is out of my league for now, I just hope it won't be that way for ever.

Thanks,
Felix
