+====== Image Picture to Model ======
+**Method 1 - Plane with Square Image then Knife Cut**
+  * use square version of image as texture for a PolyPlane, then use knife tool to cut out like real life.
+  * then extrude each part
+**Method 2 - auto version of method 1**
+  * ref: (Quickly Convert an Image into a 3D Model) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_LNqKb3zzY
+  * select square PolyPlane, then Modify menu > Convert > Texture to Geometry
+  * choose the square image, and Apply, then it will generate single Plane geo with cutting edge along auto traced color patch.
+    * I think if you use illustrator image trace feature to pre-tune the color patch, you may have better output control
+  * and each color patch is linked to a color material, use material linking for selecting each color patch for futher edit
