Thank you very much for this tutorial. With your guidance, I learned how to make my own 32 bit depth maps and apply them to different meshes. I also experimented with color gradients. However, the color transition in case of cylinder (knob) height is not smooth enough (distorted). Do you know how to overcome this? Here is png file of my original exr. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7422ea3f1e775484dbeeb94c47c75c5e81afe659d8ce226001b44096d1513277.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5b8e0fdb05b3d4e2c1e9d597bebf8d4540341e7037a42049d0e8d77e61f82e63.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e171250b17e6535d9ea5c14fcdc0771e22a087234c63ad7b9cf00056f8e29ff5.png

Tried the tutorial – made my depth map with a lot of HardOps help.

I used the same texture you did – I thought it would be cool if the color were actually an emission shader, but didn’t have much luck. Any thoughts on how that might be done?

In reply to Gleb Alexandrov. It is glossy & transparent mix 50%, mixed with Emission by Layer Weight Facing

In reply to Lionel Pat. Lionel, I think it won't count as geometry, for 3D printer. But honestly I have zero experience in this area. We need the advice of someone who tried it already.

In reply to shadowlights. Is it translucent? Interesting effect, shadowlights.

In reply to Peridigital.

Good, I like it! Maybe the geometry is a on a bulgy side, but probably it’s my subjective point of view 🙂 I would keep it a little bit flatter.
Thanks for sharing!

In reply to what to do in blender. Looks convincing to me! It would enjoy the higher resolution, and the seams are slightly visible, but other than that it's cool.
