I have Cinema 4D from a magazine cover, but I lost the install id code. Anyway it let you extrude a bitmap to 3D, so for example Pincho Paxton is easy to extrude to 3D in one button press.

There must be a free program that does the same thing?

I want to extrude grey scale to height map basically, but with closed ends.

I have been looking for something like this to make 3d thingies of drawings.

I havent found anything free however: All 3d software usually have a font generator. You'd just have to save your image as a font and it would work

...if I understand your question correctly

blender can convert text to 3d mesh, and can also deform a mesh using a heightmap image.

not sure what you mean exactly by closed ends, like a terrain that has vertical thickness instead of being a one sided surface? or wrapped into a sphere?

Shazam!

By closed ends I just mean that you have two sides that are closed, and a terrain heightmap only has one side. I find it hard to close a mesh that is multi-jointed. Anyway, Blender sounds fine, thanks!.
