top2maya – View 2D Atomic Force microscope Images as 3D Objects

top2maya

:: DESCRIPTION

top2maya is a script written in MEL (Maya Embedded Language) which runs in Alias|Wavefront’s Maya 2.5 and higher. It is a 3D visualization tool which analyzes images in 256 shades of gray and then displaces the individual pixels based on their color. It is a very effective tool for viewing 2D atomic force microscope images as 3D objects. As well as giving you a 3D image, it can also allow you to visualize multiple variables by doing the 3D displacement with one variable, for example the topography, then doing the shading on the new 3D object with another variable, for example surface friction.
