Hello all, I have a use case in which I need to have the depth information of the impasto paint strokes and the underlying paper. Is there a means of obtaining the data as a proper depth map? Not just a grayscale version of the painting, but a true depth map (white is near the viewer, black is farthest from the viewer). Having this capability will lend itself very nicely to 2.5D printing, allowing us to present prints of our work with a nice feeling of a genuine painting with depth of texture. Please and thank you! :)

Hey there! I built a GUI called [B]Rebelle Export Studio[/B] specifically to skip the coding part. It drives Motion IO for you and handles the post-processing that usually takes a few extra steps in other software. [B]What it does for height maps or any other needed layer:[/B] [LIST] [*]Extracts the raw data as EXR, TIFF, or PNG. [*]Automatically generates a normal map with adjustable strength. [*]Batch processes folders of files if you have a lot of work to dump. [*]Resizes output if the original canvas is too large for your 3D or print memory limits. [/LIST] It’s a wrapper, so you still need Rebelle 8 Pro and the Motion IO files installed to use it. You can grab the tool here: [URL]https://9601518167583.gumroad.com/l/cklac[/URL]
