3d meshes from GIF files
Scott,
Just tried out the GIFDXF program – made some homemade terrain!
Works great. I used ANIPRO, 800×600, made a palette with lots of greys.
Drew a contour map of a river and mountains and filled the contours with
greys. Used Apply Ink repeatedly with JUMBLE & SOFTEN inks & saved the
file. Used GIFDXF /X80 /Y110 /S100 file.GIF file.DXF to create the dxf.
Loaded it into 3DS, auto-smoothed to 45 degs, applied a green matte, used
one light. The result was a great valley scene with some very rugged
mountains. The whole process took less than an hour. Try it, you'll like
it!
