GPU-accelerated relief work
Everything in I2D Plugin — plus GPU speed.
I2D GPU Plugin includes every feature of the free I2D Plugin, with the addition of CUDA-accelerated depth generation and mesh building for dramatically better detail, quality, geometry, performance and processing.
Shape photo depth
Use bas-relief shaping, gamma, edge detail, Laplace detail, and depth curves plus there's more options in Advanced GPU settings to tune form and surface texture.
Project to surfaces
Map reliefs onto selected surfaces, polysurface faces, or meshes with controls for inset, rotation, fit, and normal direction.
GPU-accelerated processing
CUDA-based depth generation and mesh building for dramatically better detail, quality, geometry, performance and processing on large images and Ultra quality outputs.
Quick start
Open the panel, choose an image, tune, and build.
The main command is
I2DGPUOpenPanel. Load an image, watch the depth preview, then
add a flat mesh or project the result to a Rhino
target — now with GPU acceleration.

Browse
Choose a normal image or mark it as a pre-made depth / height map.
Preview
Adjust luminance, relief shaping, edge detail, depth direction, and target scale — with real-time GPU-accelerated preview.
Build
Add a flat relief mesh or project the mesh onto selected Rhino geometry — dramatically faster at High and Ultra quality.
Project to surface
Reliefs that follow your Rhino forms.
Fill a target area, preserve or stretch aspect ratio, flip axes, rotate the layout, and choose the surface normal that controls relief direction.
Project inset / size
Control how much of the selected surface area is filled. Suggested start: 0.94.
Projected height scale
Scale relief height after projection while keeping the source depth work intact.
Fit and orientation
Preserve aspect, fill the target, rotate in 90-degree steps, or mirror in X and Y.
Starting points
Presets for common relief jobs.
Presets are included.
To get started, I would use 'My favourite V2 softer for most images 4mm' and tweak from there.

GPU-accelerated quality levels.
Start fast while tuning, then increase resolution for final meshes. GPU acceleration makes Ultra quality practical for production work.
Draft 256
Standard 512
High 1024
Ultra 2048 (Giant Model only)
Triangles or quads
Triangles are the most robust output. Quads lower the face count but can become non-planar on detailed reliefs.
Adaptive reduction
Reduce face count after building, especially useful for High and Ultra quality meshes.
