Yes, in Vcarve you set up the 3D Roughing Toolpath, then the final Toolpath.
The manual for it is here: https://docs.vectric.com/docs/V9.0/VCarvePro/ENU/Help/Toolpaths/3D%20Toolpaths.html
The roughing job took nearly 40 minutes, the second roughing about the same time, the final job took over 4 hours to do.

The wood I used was an old tray of some sort, I guess that is is teak
I found a 3D model on Thingiverse for the 1911 Colt. Imported that into Vcarve Desktop. Set the cutting depth to ca 9.5 mm.
Created one roughing with 6mm end mill, then did a second roughing with a 1,5 mm end mill.
The finish touch was done with a 0.1 mm 20 degree carving mill.
I have attached the Vcarve-file.

I did this plaque for the local shooting club. It is a 3D model of the famous 1911 Colt. Took a couple of hours to carve.
