And Shapeways able image formats like jpg, png, tiff.Ħ: The format to upload 3D models for full color 3D printing in this case, is VRML, not STL. The maximum size allowed to upload the textures in a zip with the 3D model in shapeways is 1024pixels. I prefer to upload the mesh with UVs.ĥ: Paint the mesh, an export. Shapeways can accept models polipainted or Vertex Painted, but when you reduce the polycount, obviously, the colors will be more blurred. But, I have uploaded meshes with 1,7 or 1,8 millions, uploading the 3D file, compressed in a zip, and no problem with the polycount while the file size dont exceed the 64mb.Ĥ: Obviously you need to create UVs to paint the model. Well, Shapeways have an polycount limit of 1 million polys, or 64mb file size, the first that happen. I'm going to talk about from my experience making and ordering my full color sandstone copies to the 3D printing service based in the Netherlands, Shapeways.(but there some others like sculpteo, 3DHUB, etc).įor Full color 3D printing you have, 1st to all:ġ:The mesh must be closed, and with no holes.Ģ: I recomend to make your sculpt hollow to save a goood ammount of money in the 3D printing process.( I use Meshmixer after I make an reduction at the finished sculpt in Mudbox).ģ: Run a reduction in Mud. You are lucky, I have made, and I already make, 3D sculpts using mudbox for 3D priting, and in addition, I made some sculpts for full color 3D printing.
