PGM to OpenSCAD surface (normed zero-one)
youmagine
This is a "normed" version of the original, meaning this script generates a ".dat" file with grey scales (0-255) converted to (0.00-1.00). This works much better if you're planning to upload your openSCAD code to Thingiverse Customizer. Note that I'm not a Python expert; I just used trial and error to assign the correct value to depthval. If you have any Python questions, @sawdusty is the go-to person for answers. The original script creates a ".dat" file with grey scales (0-255) converted to (0.00-7.65), which is okay but not compatible with Thingiverse's requirements. For more information on how this works, check out Thingiverse Customizer documentation: http://customizer.makerbot.com/image_surface and http://customizer.makerbot.com/docs#image_surface. Also keep in mind that when using the surface command in openSCAD, it adds 1mm to the bottom (below zero) of the created surface.
