Is there any way I can generate a simple polygon object from a black and white image or a greyscale heightfield image?:jumpy: You know, something this is just a simple extrusion?

If you have the (now free) coolpowers2 suite of plugins the 'displacedatplace' tsx will perform this function. I'm sure there were a couple other plugins that someone else wrote but the names escape me right now.

If you have tS7.x, try the nifty new displacement brush!

Thanks for the advice. I've tried the Displacement tsx, but could not get it to work in TS6.6. But that's a good idea about the 7.5 brush. I'll give that a go.
