What exactly are you asking?
It’s pretty easy, for example, to turn an image into a grayscale .bmp and convert that to an elevation map that roughly creates an embossed/engraved surface.
It’s not easy to take photos of objects and turn them into 3d models of that object. It’s pretty much impossible from a single photo, as well. It’s possible, but usually fairly complicated- it’s called photogrammetry and there’s tools and plugins for blender that can do it; but it’s very hit or miss.
There's AI tools to assume the 3d shape from the 2s image.
