Good Day all. I hope everyone survived Turkey Day. I have a customers logo and would like to engrave coins. I think it would be a decent thing for them to sell in their shop in Florida. Tourist Shop…
I asked CHATGPT to create the depth map which it did. Not even sure if it will work to be honest. Thought it was worth a shot.
Can anyone help an old man figure out what my next step would be?
TIA

Run the bitmap generated using 3dslice… Mine take an hour and a half to two hours a side to produce one of these… If you’re looking at making money, I doubt this is the right track.
Yep, your right on the money with that statement Jack. Thought it would be something nice to sell in their shop, but at 1 hour per coin, there is no money in it. I may buy a couple coins off of Amazon, just to get the feel for it though.
Thanks Buddy .
It’s fun to mess with and have some coins but these take so long to do a single side I doubt you can do it commercially unless you charge big bucks for each coin.
Good luck
@jkwilborn ,Many sell their stuff here…Most in my opinion are substandard

Those are great, thanks for sharing. What are you using for lenses and settings, if you don’t mind?
