Hi Doug > I will send you the image tonight or tomorrow night.
Sorry for being unclear, but I can't do anything with just _one_ image. The reconstruction of a high field from a single image can't be automated (at least to day) in general. The only think I can do it following your approach, interpret the image as a height field, generate C-Code and simulate the result. A general personal comment: I'd prefer a stronger transformation/abstraction of the image than milling it as a relief: E.G: http://goo.gl/EPYeL You could also use lines and change the depth of cut to recreate the image as shadow. Might still be to simple uses 5axis machining it'd be nice to tilt the holes in a way that time image is only visible om certain point of view or under certain lighting condition. http://goo.gl/nKVX2 This is 3D Printed, but could be milled as well. Or mill/grind a free form lens projecting the image, if the sun shined down in the right angle: http://lgg.epfl.ch/caustics (Sorry for teasing, but the software is not published.)
