Re: Texturing on RP model - FOOTWEAR applications?

Dear list,

I wrote an article about this that was published in Prototyping Technology
INternational. I have succesfully transferred my palm print, about 25% smaller
than the original, to stereolith and SLS parts. I have also transferred textures
to z corp parts. These were scaled up from the original print. Everything in
this regard is really a matter of scale.

It works, admittedly, with some fussing.

Computing power yes. A simple model can end up with 1 million polygons,
depending upon the detail you wish to accomplish.

different companies call the technique by different names. Typically "shaped
displacment shading" or some such thing like that.

best
