oh havn't seen that one or any cool examples of this 'trace' node. and which one.. the path tracer, ray tracer or the image tracer?? :)
for a simplified image trace to 3D geom we can read in image or texturemap data, turn that into particles, (with pixel particles) in ICE do analysis on color / brightness thresholds of each particle to leave / delete particles then mesh this with polygoniser... done! :) or even old school, displace some geometry with the image and chop off the displaced geometry... or am I missing the point of this node?
