You could potentially start by tracing the chips outline on a solid layer and then using that custom path as a shape to extrude in element. Then take your image and run it through something like crazybump (free shareware) and bring the various image maps in as textures for your layer. 

That's where i'd start, at least.

I have a hi res photoshop image of a computer chip.  Need to edit this boring shot into a sizzle reel.  Its all the art I have.  I thought its a perfect candidate for Element.  I once mapped titles to a football in Element and it worked great.  But I need to use this chip and its odd shape (square but with clipped corners) and extrude and then use all the eye candy Element gives me by making this a particle.   But how do I import this image into Element?   Do I need to mask the outline first?
