  Height field utilities ... Explained :-)

Sorry I was not very detailed in my previous question about height fields.

The problem I have is the following...

I have a black/white logo. (not really black and white but pretends to be
so)

This logo has been got through a scanner so it has not very precise
contours.

I have to use this logo in POV for normals (no problem) and height fields to
render it in an appealing way.

Since it is black and white I would like to make its contours smooth in
order to get a rounded height field in POV.

I have seen a UNIX utility called 'level connector' (lev-con) that might
help but I use Windows NT ...  any port ?

Anyone know any utility to massage, clean and restyle B&W scanned images to
be used as height fields ?

Thanx again

Paolo
