Create 3D Geometry from Images and Vectors
Make a brightness relief, a flat lithophane or an extruded SVG. These controlled image-to-mesh operations do not reconstruct a photographed object.
Surface relief
PNG and JPG/JPEG brightness becomes height above a base. Use it for image-driven surface patterns and shallow reliefs.
Light through thickness
A lithophane maps luminance to panel thickness. Set physical dimensions and test the result with your material, printer and backlight.
Extruded outlines
Give supported filled SVG shapes a constant depth. Text and curves must first be converted to supported straight contours.
