Create mesh from greyscale
I used maya years ago and i remmeber using such an effect i just can t remember how to.
What i want is to create geometry from a grayscale image, the image is just some basic gray squares. (i remember using it to generate random height bulding for a cityscape).
I do not want to use displacement or bump as i need actual mesh, that i can work with.
If anyone could show me a way to do so, it d be greatly appreciated.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Thanks a lot for your answer although i know this method, the problem is that the result aren t really accurate unless i tweak it a lot. It s a very basic grey scale, isn t there any alternate solution to create a mesh from this image ?
