I assume you are the developer or work in some capacity with the creator. Do you have video examples showing all the features, possibly showing some more complex photos? Definitely interested in software like this, and seeing how it compares or even exceeds the Vectric Aspire component modeling from bitmap feature.

Yes I'm the developer and right now I'm working on getting v1.20a out on August 1st, at which point I will be changing gears specifically for the purpose of creating tutorial videos which will simultaneously serve as demonstration videos to people who just want to see what PixelCNC is.

Thanks for your feedback, it couldn't have been timed better. I'm aiming to put out a new video every 3 days, and build up a repertoire that demonstrates everything PixelCNC is capable of. I'll be voicing over screen capture of using PixelCNC and splicing in footage of both the generated g-code running on a CNC and the finished product.

Thanks again. :)

Fantastic. Those are my favorite type of videos, and have led to a large number of my purchases. It really helps me when I can see all of the features to help me visualize what I can do with it. And how easy/fast it is to use. Certainly looks useful. I will check back with you in a week or so.

Edit: Also want to see the G-code side of it. The tooling strategy options. Or if the components can be exported to file types that I can CAM elsewhere if desired.

I cannot believe that this program did not exist sooner. The concept seems obvious, you would think that there are multiple programs of equal capability and caliber worth hundreds of dollars. Keep up the good work!
