Photo Terrain
Turn a photo or sample into a relief blank.

Who it is for
Artists and prototypers who need a height map or a printable model.
What it does
Image brightness becomes height. Three views (relief, elevation, slope), contour lines and colour scales. The photo is processed in the browser and never uploaded.
What you get
A height map PNG, a heightfield OBJ, and a closed printable model as OBJ or STL with a chosen width and base.
Limits
Brightness is not real elevation: this is an artistic blank, not a topographic survey.
