Introduction With the arrival of the “Full Color Sandstone” material, Shapeways now supports color information in your models. There are two ways to apply color: as a 'per face' material, or as a UV texture map. 'Per face' materials are easier to work with, but will give you less detail. UV texture maps can be very detailed, but require the careful mapping of the texture map to your object. To use 'per face' materials, simply apply material colors in your 3D application and export to VRML2. Then, jump to step 4 below to read how to upload your model. The use of texture maps requires some additional steps.

We also offer material specifications and design rules for the new Sandstone material, and you may want to check out our Thin walls tutorial. Process outline Uploading a file with texture maps requires a few steps. In your 3D application, create a texture map. Step 1: Creating a Texture map Create a UV texture map in your 3D application. Step 2: Export your model to VRML97 or X3D That's it!

FlyingArchitecture — free 3D models, materials, textures and tutorials for Rhinoceros, 3DS Max, C4D and all other programs. Rheotomic Surfaces « Space Symmetry Structure. These are Rheotomic Surfaces – from the Greek Rheo – flow and Tomos – cut or section (as in tomography) The horizontal sections of these surfaces correspond to the moving equipotential lines of a 2D Laplacian flow, with height mapped to time. In this essay I present a type of mathematically generated surfaces with some unique geometric properties making them particularly well suited for architectural use. I also present some interesting by-products from the development of these surfaces including a novel and simple way of making conformal grids from flows without the usual methods of vector field integration.

Finally, I suggest some possible directions for the future development of these ideas, both in architectural and purely geometric fields. In their 1960s work on ‘The function of the oblique’ Claude Parent and Paul Virilio proposed a new architecture of habitable circulation based not on the horizontal and vertical but on the slope. One is the daunting nature of the mathematics involved. Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces.
