Mesh displacement and adaptive subdivision based on bitmap

[Fabian]

Hi,
does anyone know a program/feature that given a bitmap image can generate displaced geometry and that is a bit smart about generating as little geometry as needed. Basically something like what a reyes renderer does, only outside the renderer.

Thank you,
Fabian

ICE is worth a try
depends on what you want to achieve with that geometry

Ah, I missed that one. Thank you, if it scales well it might just fit the bill.
Thank you,
