    Thank you for getting back to me and I appreciate the link!
    A lithophane is a reverse image carve in a translucent material that shows "grey" scale that is dependant on the depth of the material.
    I have made a few but not with MasterCam. They are really cool.
    Best regards

    Lithophane, MasterCam

    Hello,
    That looks nice.
    Yes, I Would like to create a image like to one you made using MasterCam Art.
    I have made some using ArtCam but the school I teach at now had MasterCam and I would like to have my students make one as a project.
    Thanks,
    Geary
