Is Aspire a free download from Autodesk. I am looking for some way to add textures or shading to some carvings and can't do that with Fusion360... Any ideas???

Aspire can definitely add textures to carvings (as well as ArtCAM--new name Carveco), but to do it with free software will be a bit tricky, but this might work for you...
1. Export your carving model as an STL file.
2. Open the STL in Meshmixer (free from Autodesk)
3. Learn how to use Meshmixer (that's the tricky part)
4. Add texture, shading, etc. to the STL file in Meshmixer
5. Import the modified STL file into your CAM software and set up toolpaths
