Neural Relief · 7 minute guide
Neural Relief & Depth Map Mastery
Choose deterministic geometry, fast Nano Pro sculpting, or queued HiTem3D relief; isolate subjects, restore fine texture, and export calibrated 16-bit height maps.
What this tutorial covers
- Choose free deterministic relief, Fast Nano Pro, or queued HiTem3D HD.
- Isolate subjects and restore fine surface texture before export.
- Export smooth 16-bit height maps for wood or metal carving.
Validate the workflow on your machine
Treat the finished file as a controlled starting point, not a universal machine recipe. Confirm the artwork dimensions after import, verify focus and lens selection, and run a small test on scrap from the same material batch before committing the production piece. Change one variable at a time when tuning speed, power, frequency, line interval, or pass count. Record the machine, source wattage, lens, material finish, focus method, and final settings with the saved job. That short production note makes the result repeatable for the next operator and prevents a strong screen preview from being mistaken for a proven burn.
