Relief Maker should be suitable for most personal projects that you would mill or 3D print. If your projects are physically very large, for example 3 feet x 2 feet, then you might want to consider getting Relief Maker Pro so you can output higher resolutions to accommodate the larger sizes.

If you need to bring in multiple models, you will need Relief Maker Pro. You can achieve a similar result in Relief Maker by using another program such as Blender to combine models and then bring them into Relieif Maker as a single model. However, you will not be able to perform per-asset tweaking.

If your use case requires high resolutions such as coins, mold cavities, professional grade woodworking projects or high-res outputs for gaming or CG applications, you should consider Relief Maker Pro.

If you want to sell the digital reliefs, see the next question.

Please contact us to discuss the Relief Seller Edition. Relief Maker Basic and Relief Maker Pro are intended for businesses or individuals who want to manufacture reliefs, for example via CNC or 3D printing or injection mold processes. Or, for artists who want to incorporate digital relief assets into larger CGI production projects. In other words, the relief is just an input to a larger goal, physical or digital. For those use cases, you can create and sell the resulting manufactured good or digital project.

Relief Maker Basic and Relief Maker Pro are not intended for the mass-generation of reliefs to allow you to then resell the digital relief assets as reliefs to the public - in other words where the digital relief output itself is the end goal.

If you are interested in creating or contributing to a marketplace or library of relief outputs, want to mass-produce relief files, offer reliefs as a service (RasS (lol)), offer your customers large libraries of relief files, or other similar activities please contact us at [email protected] and we can figure out an appropriate agreement based on your needs and use case.
