I had some code from Vertex Tools that read BMP data - just hacked it to generate a point cloud:

Just gotto do a couple of tweaks to make it make a mesh instead.

Why not use Phototsculpt-textures?

Will refine it later.

It works just like a displacement map:
White is high points - black is low points
Then you have shades of grey for everything in between ( a RGB values of RGB( 128,128,128 ) would mean the height for that point is at 50% of the max height.

See example in main thread: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=31339&p=275954#p275954

Charly, try scaling it down on the Z. Worked for me.

Hi Thomas,

i tried your plugin but i got a strange result. After manual down scaling see the second image.

It is a very promising tool. I would like to use it especially for three-dimensional reliefs.

Earthmover, thanks for your advice
