Python utilities for conversion of bitmap image (in PNG format) to some sort of solid objects in POVRay format, resembling threads of canvas or cross stitches. Each source image pixel is converted to a 3D object, colored after source pixel.
- linen - creates an object, simulating canvas, colored after source image (taffeta, print on canvas, and the like).
- stitch - simulates common cross stitching embroidery appearance.
- averager - an accessory for preprocessing source PNG files. Averages colors in RGB PNG within linear or squarish areas between contrast edges, providing color reduction somewhat similar to used in real cross stitch.
Dependencies: Tkinter, PyPNG
Usage: programs are equipped with minimal GUI for file selection. Exported scene contains enough basic stuff (globals, light, camera) to be rendered out of the box, and is well structured and commented for further editing.
