It’s been a minute. What cnc pattern would you like to see me make to share with the community as a grayscale image height map pattern.

AI and possibly other tools will be used.

I’ll post on a couple of woodworking forums to see what is submitted, if any.

Close submissions tomorrow 8/28/2026 at 1800 CST. PG please.

Folks are busy and I got no suggestions so made one myself. Thought this carving would be good on a mallet.

A limitation of using the small free AI models (databases) is they have limited trained data. Otters are probably something that had limited images included in the AI models I use so unable to get a good depth map from images so instead made a 3d model and then used the models to create a wave ripple simulation using Blender’s Dynamic Paint system.
