Dear Carl,
The free download that was discussed can be found at:
http://www.puffindesigns.com/support/downloads.html
Goto Knoll Cybermesh (do not mind the remark that it is a Photoshop
plug-in: a Windows version is included).
Cybermesh converts grey values in any B&W bitmap file to heights,
thus converting 2D photo's to 3D geometry. Output can be done as
DXF polygon mesh. Do not expect 'real life' faces though: imagine
for instance the difference between a white man with a black beard and
a black man with a white beard.
The resulting polygon meshes can be machined very well
using DeskProto !
Best Regards,
Lex Lennings.
