Supposedly yes. I don’t have access to the full functionality yet, as mine’s a pre-release, and I only get stuff that’s fairly stable. The beta people know the answer but can’t talk. So really only dan or someone on staff could answer that with any real solidity.

Someone please make some ‘exercises to do while watching your glowforge cut stuff’.
I hope they took into account when designing these things that people will be leaning on them just looking down as they cut, cuz I do it way too much. I worry I’m gonna damage it by leaning too much

Outside my knowledge base, but would it be possible in most graphics software to ‘add’ one greyscale image to another ?

If the tape wears off, there is always this option Liquitex Acrylic Paint Markers (they come in fine). I’ve recently tried the markers on wood, and they work like a charm.
I picked mine up at Michaels.
BTW, Bob Cheveron Pants is super fun!

Thanks for the link.
Thread posted just before I joined the forum, so serves me right for not doing a full search.
Looks like the blend tool would get me there.

So best way to start from scratch is to create a background layer that is black. then create a new layer with blend type “screen” or “lighten”. use a white paintbrush on that layer with a low percentage fill like 20% to slowly build up the height.

It will be. We call that 3D multi-point autofocus, and we haven’t released the software yet.

3DMPA ! Thanks Dan, I appreciate your reply.
At this stage, I guess like most forum members, the wow factor is getting in the way of some serious planning
