The last two weeks have been rather crazy getting ready for the Shopbot Contest. Several months ago Mike and I wanted to perfect a photo-to-product idea using a bust or head as a starting point. It has been challenging, to say the least. Having very limited CNC experience just 3 months ago, I have jumped on the learning curve in a big way and been endlessly distracted by all the cool stuff there is to know.
This project is not complete as we had visioned it. But the submission must go in before midnight. It is, however, mostly finished except for the photo to mesh part. Therefore, this is the ongoing quest.
