Image Converter

Image Converter turns a raster image into a 3D relief where pixel brightness determines height. Bright areas become raised and dark areas become low (or vice versa).

How to Use

1. Add an Image Converter from the Primitives panel, or drag an image file onto the workspace
2. The image is converted to a 3D height map
3. Adjust the height and other parameters

Tips

• High-contrast images with clear shapes produce the best results
• For tracing image outlines as flat paths instead of height maps, use Image to Path
• For creating backlit image displays, use Lithophane
• You can drag images directly from your desktop onto the workspace
• Add a base by combining the image relief with a Cube
