Description
Image2stl,is a software that allows the creation of 3D object from a 2D base (jpg or png). Associating the colors to values extrusion, the program detects differences in color level to translate the 2D to 3D. Thus, an image composed of a gradient from black to white gradient will create a volume.
This application has been designed by the Association Design The Future Now and developed by Joël Belouet.

Instructions
Currently, image2stl only takes jpg, jpeg or png with a colored background (white and black included - no transparency) preferably in contrast to the subject of the image. Each color represents a brightness value used differently, and therefore translation image2stl a value different extrusion. Thus, an image composed of a gradient going from white to black will create a volume having the shape of a slope.

This is great! Are you likely to release the source code?
This appears to be a processing sketch - should be easy to create windows and linux versions, and I'm sure others would be more than happy to do that for you if you do choose to release the sketch itself.
