Some more information.
GraphiTech's Cimagrafi has a module called Shade Analysis that turns
greyscale values of an image into 3D surfaces of varying heights. I believe
that this is similar to the Art Emboss module of Delcam's ArtCam.
Any comments, comparisons on either/both of these programs would be kindly
appreciated.
