Adding a wood grain texture

jack_erhart

I was wondering if there is the capability of adding a wood grain texture to a smooth surface model?

Yes. Here are two custom features that can do this:

Wood grain by @TimRice

or

Texture by myself

Do these textures, especially the wood grain print out on the models, or is it just for looks on the model itself?
I would like to scatch build the cab of the locomotive I am working on, and would like to start with 3D printed dimentional lumber that will actually show the wood grain.
I have tried the wood grain feature, but can't seem to get it to work right.
Any insight?

The wood grain texture only splits the faces, you'd have to offset the faces to make it "3D" before anything will show up in a print.
