2D to 3D conversion Alexey, I'm still confused about how the depth maps are encoded. I annotated two sections of your depth map example to help explain my questions. In the first image, I circled a region that's confusing me. Since her shoe is resting on the ring, both the ring and the shoe must be at the same distance from the camera. In the second image, I'm pointing again to the ring at the bottom of the stool. It seems that there's more to creating a depth map than simply assigning a distance to a value of gray? I apologize if these are stupid questions. -Brian

Similar to their previous innovation, woodFill, bronzeFill is actually a plastic medium (PLA/PHA) infused with actual bronze metal powder. Aside from the metallic aspect, bronzeFill acts in a manner much like PLA: similar temperatures, but a slightly higher flow rate is required. But do you get a real metal finish? ColorFabb says: Sanding and polishing your parts will make the bronze particles shine. Today you can pre-order a 750g (USD$70) or 1500g (USD$110) spool from ColorFabb. Via ColorFabb
