Lithopane

Post by Dan O »

I'm thinking of trying to make a lithopane. I have VCarvePro V10.5. I need to have a 3d model to make the litho, but can't convert a .jpg with VCarvePro. I would need either Aspire or PhotoVCarve. Is that correct?

Thanks

+1 for Windows 3-D Builder for creating your lithophane

If you don't have access to 3-D Builder you could search for "jpg to stl heightmap" and there should be at least on online creator.
