I've been going through the Carrara 6 Manual and even did some keyword searches, and cant seem to see if there is a way to use a 2D Bitmap Image to model a 3d object.

Now I'm not talking about anything too complex.

Example:  Lets say I draw a text or some geometric shapes on paper and scan them into a bitmap, is it possible to import into Carrara and some how trace into Vertex modeler and turn into 3D?
