Ok, not arbitrary, but interesting! I created a design to map an image onto
a subset of 3D shapes. I posted my material on Instructables,
https://www.instructables.com/id/Photo-Images-Mapped-on-Arbitrary-3D-Shapes-in-Open/
I did depend upon the excellent nSplines library by Parkinbot (Rudolf
Huttary) on thingiverse, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1208001/files
I learned a lot about images, and have done additional work to represent
images on opaque surfaces which can be 3D printed.
This work does generate an openscad feature request: I would love to be
able to grab the greyscale pixel values from surface(), without an object
being created! Then I could drop my python script.
I am happy to discuss my methods.
