From flat image to 3D relief carving
Neural Relief converts photos, logos, or AI-generated art into grayscale height fields built for deep engraving: a free deterministic engine for clean geometric relief, plus an AI depth engine for organic sculpted looks. Preview the carve in 3D before you burn, then export a true 16-bit PNG for LightBurn or CAM.
True 16-bit height fields — no banding in deep relief
Live 3D preview before you commit to a burn

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 16-bit matter for relief?
An 8-bit depth map only has 256 height steps, which shows as visible terracing in deep carves. 16-bit gives 65,536 steps, so gradients stay smooth across the full carve depth.
What machines can use the output?
Any workflow that accepts grayscale depth maps: CO2 and fiber lasers running multi-pass deep engrave modes, and CNC routers via CAM software that converts height fields to toolpaths.
