METHOD FOR THE AUTOMATED PRODUCTION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS AND TEXTURED SUBSTRATES FROM TWO-DIMENSIONAL OR THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS

摘要

A reproduction is prepared wherein the length of the reproduction is varied by one scale factor and the deeps of the image produced in the reproduction is varied by a second scale factor. The reproduction may be, prepared from a three dimensional article or a painting, art work or other two dimensional member having a topography in the surface thereof (such as brush strokes) or from a two dimensional substrate which has a picture thereon without any topography wherein the topography which is applied to the reproduction is prepared based upon computer interpretation of the objects present in the picture.
