wrap bmp to surface and extrude??
(OP)
is this possible,
it was much easier to do this in inventor.
the question is how do you take a bitmap and wrap it to the surface and then use that outline to extrude (emboss)???

Does Inventor have an automatic bitmap to vector conversion utility?

Do you know of a link to a video or demo showing that?
Could you create one and post here?

i believe its available on the inventor website.
it was used in the creation of a razor(shaving) and the picture was engraved in the piece.
i'm not sure where to look on the website though.

it has been a few years, and i hope to hear back from the prof soon. i could be wrong.
it would have been a two color (black and white) logo.
and yes i was looking to create a 3d solid entity that modified the piece, not just a picture.

Once you've got a usable vector format, the rest is fairly simple.

WinTopo Freeware from www.wintopo.com works fairly well once the correct settings are applied.

This gives the user the ability to select a color to be come transparent as well as pick a color to trace into the sketch which can be wrapped.
