I'm posting this in the photoshop forum because I don't know where else to post this question, and it's sort of
a photoshop question.
I want to take an image, and from that image create
a height map. This image is a height map - areas that
are whiter are higher.
While I'm aware that one loses information in getting
a 2D image of a 3D object, I'm looking for a way
to convert a conventional image (say a piece of 2D art)
into a height map. Anybody have any cool filter-ish
tricks to help do this?
