You can apply a texture map and use that I believe. Then you'll have to
convert the color to a scalar value to drive your effect. You're
probably going to run into some context conversion.

I should add the most difficult part will be how to read colors from
an image file in ICE. If you want to make things easier, use a script
to convert the image data to vertex color data. There are ICE nodes
to read vertex colors directly from a mesh. Just make sure each
polygon node on a vertex gets the same color value.

Same principle as using a weight map to do a push, only the texels
don’t necessarily fall on a vertex. In which case you’re making your
own subjective decision how to handle the case (eg. Use only color of
texel on vertex, or average color of a sampled area, …).

Hey guys
Trying to find a tut or a compound some where that allows me to push
or deform some geo using an image.
But my Bing skills are failing me.
Anyone know of a tut or compound that does this?
TIA
