Height Mapped Polyhedra in OpenScad

thingiverse

This project aims to enhance OpenScad's height mapping functionality by allowing the creation of polyhedron meshes and altering their vertices using a height map. The code is located in the test_mesh.scad file, which currently only handles height adjustments but will soon incorporate color mapping. Additionally, glsl.scad is introduced to model vertex and shader programming, making it easier to transition from OpenScad to other rendering platforms like iPads. To get started, download the provided .scad files, experiment with test_mesh.scad, generate meshes and objects, and finally print them out while celebrating your achievements.
