Rick Dorrington Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Was wondering if anyone has a bump for a knurl. If not, any pointers on making one? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Lohman Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 A bump map? A model? For what application? Need clarification... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dorrington Posted March 18, 2002 Author Share Posted March 18, 2002 Sorry, I didn't think it was that ambiguous. Trying to put a knurl on a model. It's a turning knob. Straight or diamond knurl, both would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhovatter Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 I use the Burlap pattern on the part surface I want to look like knurl. Catalog=Fabric then Pick Burlap It ain't perfect but it looks somewhat like knurl Dallas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EricFoy Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 While we're on the topic of bumps, I've tried without success to make a bump texture that looks like flycut aluminum. I could use any tips out there regarding how to make a bump map work... scaling, image format, colors to use, projection methods, etc., etc. ... Thanks, -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsulli Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 That brings up a question I have: Is it possible to take a digital photo of a particular surface and use it in a catalog to apply to solid model surfaces? That would be handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IronKevin Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 To Dsulli, Yes you can, the easiest way is to apply the image to the part using the Smartpaint tool, then use the "Eyedropper" tool to take the surface from the part to the Catalog.

Robert Andersson Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Thanks IronKevin! That was a very nice one. Would be very nice to have the icons created automatically also. Robert Andersson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
