================================================================================
Specify a size (cm) for the object that will be created.
The height is the size for the full-white pixels in the image.
Also specify the tesselation / divisions.
If you press the "Build Voxel-like" button with tesselation = 64x64
then 4096 tall-cubes will be created
If you press the "Build Terrain-like" button with tesselation = 64x64
then 4096 welded facets will be created
After you press one of those 2 buttons, You will be asked for an output
filename. ex :c:/tmp/myobject.obj
Then you will have to supply a path to an existing image.
The combined brightness of each pixel (R+G+B)/3 sets the height of the tall-cubes
The 'Load' button will load the last saved .obj file. You can use it repeatedly.
Note that the export/import units are 1unit = 1cm
