Is it possible to use Model 3 2D tilemap engine for displaying not a text only but also pictures at this stage?

Absolutely. You just have to define your own patterns and place them in pattern memory.

If any graphics converters for Model 3 tilemap engine exist?

Nope. You have to code everything from zero. No tooling exists. The Model 3 test program I wrote from scratch in C, using gcc as a cross-compiler (which I had to compile myself on Windows, uphill in the snow), and the ROM patches I've written in assembly language, are the only Model 3 code that has been written *in the entire universe* since 1998.
