3DTin.com Pro-Tip: Import Image

Thingiverse citizen jyro used the “Import” function on 3DTin.com to have it import an image into the super-user friendly online solid CAD program.  When you import an image, it will pixelate the image, and then turn it into a huge slab of voxels – essentially adding a uniform depth to the entire image.  What jyro must have done is carve away at the parts around the image and sculpted it to have a more rounded appearance.  The result is probably the best looking model out of 3DTin I’ve seen uploaded to Thingiverse.
