Yes, you can just use the mesh directly (clipped as needed).  But using as a
height field, you can smooth/blur the image and otherwise modify it to look
more like stamped tin.  The mesh wiil be full 3 dimensionbal, whereas a
stamped tin relief would, in essence be more like a heightfield (i.e. only
one y value for each x-z point)
