co3Darts 8 Report post Posted January 12 (edited) Does someone know of a technique to import a terrain that has a slope to it and buildings and vertical details etc. but add thickness not along the normal using inner or outer thickness but along a negative Z axis only. So you could make a skirt for the terrain and 3d print in 1 go. I've messed with making a large volume and trying to intersect the two volumes to get just a fill under the terrain but it's not as easy as it seems. Any idears? Much appreciated!

Carlosan 2,463 Report post Posted January 12 Hi This tutorial shows how to create a mesh from a black and white height map & colour texture if you have it, retopo it and paint on textures, colours and fine bump details etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
co3Darts 8 Report post Posted January 12 That's helpful. I can generate a depth map and go that route but his map/terrain is fairly simple. I am hoping to use the high density Ariel mesh I've been provided that has vertical elements like building walls etc. (not allowed to post pics ) I'd like to just give it thickness. I'm just using extrude in bottom view of orthographic a few times with ignore backfaces off. Then duplicating the vox layers and merging till I get the thickness required. Thanks Carlos.
