Image to depth map: model selection, settings and 3D preview
Generate a bas-relief depth map in SculptOK: improve low-resolution images, compare Pro 1.5, Pro and Color Image, set Detailed Parameters and inspect the surface in 3D.
Read guide →Depth Map Editor: Adjustments, local editing and relief export
Learn SculptOK depth-map editing: Smart Denoise, Detail Protection, grayscale levels, Midtone, Contrast, Invert, normalization, layer opacity and 3D export.
Read guide →Create source artwork with the AI Image Generator
Use SculptOK text-to-image, image-to-image and image-fusion workflows, then take suitable artwork into a depth-map project.
Read guide →Depth map to 3D relief: preview, thickness and STL export
Use SculptOK’s depth-to-3D generator to inspect a relief, compare watermark-free previews, set width and thickness, and export an STL for a downstream workflow.
Read guide →Prepare photos for 2D laser engraving: material presets, grayscale and dithering
Use SculptOK Laser Image Processing to adjust photos for 2D engraving. Understand six material presets, every adjustment, grayscale versus dithering, and PNG or TIFF export.
Read guide →PNG and JPG to SVG: free tracing, AI styles and refinement
Convert a PNG, JPG or WebP into monochrome SVG paths with SculptOK. Choose free Direct trace or an AI style, refine the curves and download your vector artwork.
Read guide →Photo to SVG: choose Flat, Outline, Silhouette or engraving styles
Prepare photos for monochrome SVG conversion with SculptOK AI styles. Compare Flat, Outline, Silhouette, Engraving and Linocut, then refine and download the traced paths.
Read guide →Prepare an SVG for laser engraving: filled paths, scale and fine detail
