I do thank you for your help.
Now, I have downloaded POVRay and there seems to be lots of learning. Stunning results in the examples.
Anyway. I have been looking at my BMP2CNC program and yes it dose give a good result. The program converts photos or any pictures to a height map. The lighter parts of the photo will be higher and the black lower. But by setting the depth to 6mm and blond hair on dark skin comes out as if they have had an accident. Now this gets closer when I edit the photo to negative and change setting in BMP2CNC. I have just noticed that BMP2CNC can save the map to a stl file. I thought export this into AC3D then I can pull up say the hair in front of the face to the correct position.
I saved the file as a stl. And exported it in. I get a small green box with arrows but there is nothing there. I have tried scaling up to 1000 but no joy. When I click of the box, the box disappears. So, can I be near. Am I doing something wrong?
