New Member ChickenNuggets Posted October 7, 2016 New Member Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Hey Guys! I'm totally new to modelling and 3d Coat is probably far in excess of what I actually need... but..... I love 3d printing and I'd like to apply some textures to prints I make so that they look a little more realistic. For instance, if I print a gun stock I could apply a wood grain texture and then paint it to look like wood, or a stone texture to make a wall look like stone, etc. I downloaded the demo and imported a STL I have and applied a wood grain displacement map. It looks great in 3D Coat (too good probably.. .likely would never achieve that detail on my printer). However, when I go to export it (from the demo), it exports to a stl file that is only 1KB and won't open in anything. So a few questions: 1. Can I export STLs with applied displacement maps from the demo? I was thinking maybe the export is disabled for the demo or something. If so, how to do this? I was using the "Export for 3d printing" option. 2. My needs are pretty small. I just want to model very basic things and apply textures I take with my camera to those items for 3d printing? Is 3D coat overkill for me? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
