You'll probably have to do that yourself. If you're a programmer, it
shouldn't be so complicated in fact, as I see that the mesh creation feature
is nicely packed into a little macro.

In fact this could be the easiest way to do it, at least you'll be able to
repeat the operation until you run out of "saves" (you can save up to 20
times in the demo).

When I think of it, other software support this feature in fact. You can do
this in Leveller, for instance, load the bitmap and export is as DXF.
Terragen can also load RAW image files and save them in Lightwave format.
I'm quite sure that Bryce can do it too. Or you could even load a flat OBJ
file in Poseray (a Poser -> Povray converter), deform it with your bitmap
and save the resulting OBJ. (all previous solution untested).
