since Mill Mage has brought out v carve and 3d relief , ive tried a few ways to convert images using photoshop etc with mixed results., just couldnt get that fine detail right
i bit the bullet and decided to ask google AI. 
how do i ask you to convert an image into high quality depth map, it gave me a few sentences, which i than asked it with an image.
after nearly 2 hrs , i think that one was bit retarded didn’t understand plain old English
we got there, have attached final script at bottom of post for you all to try and tweak 
the original pic is one that i got of one of my FB pages i follow, this lady creates ai generated pics
final depth map pic
MM preivew
after got to that point i asked it to write me a script for further pics
this one was from asking the script
here is the script it wrote me , still may need some final tweaks , will see what they carve out like before confusing it more
Generate a high-resolution, 8-bit grayscale depth map based on the provided image for 3D Z-axis displacement mapping.
Key Spatial Rules:
- Tonal Gradient: Use a smooth, continuous gradient where pure white (#FFFFFF) represents the closest foreground elements and pure black (#000000) represents the furthest background or horizon.
- Mid-ground Separation: Calibrate the contrast curve so mid-ground elements (like trees or terrain) sit at distinct grayscale values, separating them clearly from the background without flattening out.
Advanced Mesh Displacement Optimization (Dual-Zone Filtering):
- INTERIOR COMPONENT (High Definition): Maintain clear, crisp volumetric contours, muscular structure, and textural definitions inside the main subject (e.g., [INSERT YOUR SUBJECT HERE, e.g., “the body of the stag and the rock faces”]). Do not flatten or blur the internal features; they must retain sharp structural definition to drive localized depth displacement.
- OUTER SILHOUETTE (Ultra-Soft Rollover): Apply a heavy, localized feathering filter strictly to the outer perimeter outlines and narrow extremities (such as antlers, fur tips, or edges). The border transition from the subject to the background must be a broad, smooth, sweeping gradient.
The final asset must look crisp and detailed on the inside, but fade smoothly on the outer borders so that Z-axis displacement rolls over softly at the edges instead of lifting sharply or tearing the mesh.
