Photo thorugh Processing to .stl

Developed a process that take a heightmap of an image and gaussian smooths it a bit so it's not all crazy and then converts it in a .stl file for 3d printing - I'm still working out the whole workflow process.  Too small and detail gets hard to make out, too big and it takes a long time, which is fine but something I need to keep in mind


 So far works best with images with large shapes and strong contrast, at least at this scale
 

Too small and detail gets hard to make out, too big and it takes awhile, which is fine but something I need to keep in mind 

At some point I want to experiment with inverted heightmaps for lineart and charcter art, see how I could finess that given a thick enough pre-set baseplate
