Thanks

You might try to find free software called BMP2IGES...German, in English, works great if its still available, learning curve, but not bad.  I have and could send to you if you can't find online anymore.  Allows pictures to be converted and saved as stl's, or a format called IGES.  Don't like tooting my on horn, but if you search for Skyblue on thingiverse, you will see many things I've made using this software as the starting point.  Also search for Rag-Nar...

But another free solution with a few more steps.. you can use inkscape to convert the JPG to a SVG via bitmap tracing, and then import the SVG into a TinkerCad and extrude the shape. Really depends on what you want to do with the image.

Yes you can achieve the same results in Blender but you 'pay the price' in terms of having to ride the associated far higher learning curve...

If you want to transfer a flat image to a mostly flat STL you can use the Thingiverse lithopane (thing:74322). If you want to turn a picture of an object into a 3d representation then no. This is a manual process done in an application like Blender.

I know there are some companies that produce items like custom bobbleheads so there may be something out there, but I would imagine it isn't cheap. I think there's also an application out there that will take multiple images, taken from different angles, and produce a 3D model. I'm not familiar with it though.

Blender can be quite a bit of fun. But if you are unfamiliar with it, it can be a massive learning curve.

If you find anything that manually transfers 2D to 3D, please share! big_smile

There's workaround though I'm sure.
