Newbie Needs Software

[roger]

Hello,
I'm looking in to getting a Shopbot. I'm need someone to help point me in the right direction.
Here's a list of what I would like to do with the Shopbot.
Lithopane (pictures)
Relief carvings
Make Furniture
Moldings
3D items out of wood.

My budget can't handle several different programs. What programs do I need to accomplish my wish list.

Thanks Roger in Idaho

The Bot comes with pretty capable software already.....but I would HIGHLY suggest you pick up Coreldraw 9 for fifty bucks on Ebay....or higher depending on your budget. Rhino is great for 3D and Visualmill Basic is available for around 500.00 and reads directly from Rhino. Look at http://computersculpture.com/ for some ideas and excellent combination discounts. Happy hunting....D
