| Convert Image to Mesh-- how's it done? [message #31395] Sat, 23 July 2011 17:30 UTC |

I see several creations where you can personalize mesh's with an image (much more detail than a displacement) and appears to be a conversion of a bump map to an actual mesh.
Does anyone have a recommendation on how to apply this and be able to print with Shapeways?
I'm a blenderhead, but would love to know a ways/means to do this.
Thanks in advance,
Mick

Hi Mick,
it depends on the software that you use. A displacement/height map can work really well - we use that in our Photoshapers as well. You'll need to work on a finely subdivided mesh though or else you just don't get the resolution.
