I’m new to the world of 3D Printing. What do you recommend for creating STL files from pictures? What I am hoping to do is generate them and mod them as needed.

    What exactly are you asking?

    It’s pretty easy, for example, to turn an image into a grayscale .bmp and convert that to an elevation map that roughly creates an embossed/engraved surface.

    It’s not easy to take photos of objects and turn them into 3d models of that object. It’s pretty much impossible from a single photo, as well. It’s possible, but usually fairly complicated- it’s called photogrammetry and there’s tools and plugins for blender that can do it; but it’s very hit or miss.
