surface with bmp size.gh (20.2 KB)
Please check this file.
Thank you! I don’t think I was clear above though, Is there a way to “cut out” the shape that is in the picture? so end result would be just the face with no backdrop. Hopefully that makes sense!
Ok, I used a different .bmp, black background and turned off all previews except display geo. I think I got it now?
Yes. Them turn on “Run” of ExportMesh, you will get a stl file in the same folder.
I was able to get it for this one image but have not been able to reproduce the result with other images. I’ve tried to put them on a black background which worked for this one, but I get failed to create surface errors mostly. I’m sure it’s me!
sorry, wasn’t clear again - the above image (face2) did NOT work. I have only been successful with the original “leaf” example. Sorry for any confusion.
The second image background is not pure black.
holy cow, I just got to the same conclusion. right now.
lookin’ good!!
Nice smooth edges and offset (thickness) for some shoe uppers parts obtained just using SurfaceRelief and a simple grey image!
How would you have the pattern fade to smooth surface near the sole topline?
Would this work building on a polysurface brep?
