The design clip was hillarious, we need more companies launching cool youtube channels with actual content and not just promoting their own stuff. Kudos.

Its amazong how many people are just learning about fuzzy skin. Would love to have a texture category inslicers to add different textures

slicers recently have been getting so many amazing new features so I could totally see this becoming a thing. Im suprised there is so little control with fuzzy skin, considering how a little texture makes prints look infinitely better. I mean, just look at the difference between the finish on a CF filament vs non. If you could get some of that sort of texture (with more control than just making the whole model fuzzy) it would be awesome. Could be worth putting in some feature requests.

fancy courses aren't needed when you have the whole of internet at the reach of your fingertips. Thank you for making the world better by spreading useful education.

If your unsure about the loop cuts you can just subdive it so you know for sure it has straight quads topology

You could also do it in the Raise Ideamaker, directly in the slicer with a huge number of texture templates on the raise Website. That's way easier and faster then in Blender.

Honestly i think slicers implementing just that fuzzy skin option is enough, because actual 3d modeling softwares such as Blender are made for actual UV mapping and textureing. They offer way more control and adding that into a slicer would explode them in performence cost but also in complexity. I mean if you really know what you doing, you could use the full pipeline of Adobes Substance 3d Painter, Substance Designer or Substance Sampler with a combination of Blender for a very nice UV map and Mesh. Like with Substance 3d Painter you could make every texture there and then use those with the UV mapping as Displacement modifier texture. Substance Painter alone offers a tesselate mesh option which is mostly for 3d printing. There you can combine many different things like drawing stiches and what not to the model. I recommend anyone learning that if you really want really nice quality prints.

The result is astonishing!

really dig your style of information delivery. Thanks for the knowledge/cool ideas

Good info! Love the humor, etc.. 😂 . . . . One small editing tip (just my opinion) : When switching camera angles in the edit, try to keep your eyes in the same part of the frame. While editing, I'll just point my finger at my eyes in the monitor then zoom the next frame in a little and move it over lol. It's much more seamless when you don't have to "look" for the subject after each cut. Doesn't need to be perfect, just helps imo. Cheers🤘

Inspiring and awesome results! Regarding fuzzy skin - I was very surprised when I printed two boxes in vase move. One regular and one with fuzzy skin. The fuzzy one was considerably stiffer! Thought it might be useful for others to know this fact.

"...you can't prove anything..." Love it.

nomad sculpt works way better for this just get anny texture you want import it to nomad then ither bake it in the subservice of the model or use a texture brush and set it to dot and lock click remesh and your done. blender is so mutch work around and for moste beginners not friendly at all with a super steep learning cure becus of all the work around you need to do to get to the end result yes its a great tool but it is starting to fall a little behind specialy in the user experiance of it as a whole. great video tho love the simple straight forward tutorial but if someone that wants this and never used blender befor it can be a bit daunting.

I’m glad you made this before I got around to it. I’ve been wondering for quite awhile, “why isn’t texturing built into a slicer other than fuzzy?” Then I realized I could create texturing in Blender, and so I did. Texturing creates realistic models, but also hides layer lines.

more texture and patterns all the way!!

You earn a new subscriber. Great tutorial. Great pedagogy. As entertaining as instructive. Thank you

Thanks! I will try this out

Fantastic, nice work.

After watching this, I've decided I'll likely need to learn a little bit about Blender. I've done a lot of Solidworks, Fusion360, and CATIA work. The "freeform" modifications allowed in Blender definitely has some advantages. As for slicer features. I'd like to see a "paint on texture" feature. Much like you can paint your model with with areas will have different colors, I'd like to be able to select which areas have fuzzy skin. Great video!

Very well explained - great info!

Thank you for showing this! Very good straight forward tutorial 👍👍👍 will try myself

More texture tutorials, please!

I find that fuzzy skin only increased grip for soft stuff. If you use it for a metal rod for example, it actually lowers the friction since the contact points are less and smaller. At least until it grinds itself off.

thanks, really interesting and it works perfectly on the primitive figures of Blender, unfortunately not on any other stl file that you would like to modify.. can anyone advise me which type of file can be modified within blender or how to transform these stl to be able to add the textures? Thank you!

Great video!

does adding a slight texture improve the sanding process?

I love this!

This would be very easy to do in 3D-Coat, no need for a UV map, just load the texture as a stencil in cubic mode, scale it how you like and press enter.

Just wait til someone tells Jake about the Tissue addon in blender.

Very interesting. I've had a few commercial ideas but the work involved in sanding, priming (times 20) and painting has meant the effort is too great to meet a decent price point (at least until my kids learn to use sand paper 😂). Fuzzy skin definitely does not suit the application but some other mild texture to hide the layer lines might work! Haven't used blender before but seems like a worthwhile time investment. Thanks for the tip.

Wow very cool👍🏻

Good vid, I've struggled with Blender and get by with Microsoft 3D builder... Hadn't thought to try adding textures 👍

Would this work with more geometric textures? For example, could you use it to get a similar effect to the plates you showed at the beggining?

About 1000 people will be trying this right now.

this would be kind of cool with foaming TPU printed at various densities to mimic some mixed hard/flexible textured materials. like idk, crocodile leather. Printing that will be so failure prone, that maybe you get some cool grey hair out of it too.

It is easy with a cube. How do you texture an organic shape?

I tried this method in the past, BUT!! it does not work well with STLs. Another option is to use the Texture function of the slicer "Ideamaker". My problem is that my prusaxl is nto easy to set up in ideamaker, so I exported the G-code (texure is applied in the G-code) transformed the g-code to obj and reconstructed the STL and printed it with PrusaSlicer. The results were not as good, due to the data interpolations, but with a bit of sanding the final result was acceptable.

It is nice to have all these features in slicers, but I have a hard time tracking the slicer settings I use for previous prints while prototyping a part. I hope slicers get better versioning /management tools for this. I mean, even the basic 'export' feature in Cura still does not work with the appimage on Linux.. and using diff via command line to compare slicer settings is quite a task! Also, still no option to apply a particular setting to multiple slicer profiles...

What printer did you use?

I want to put fuzzy on portions of prints and this makes that possible.

I came here for the Fashion, English and Philosophy aspect but stayed for the 3D printing.

Great video! FDM or resin?

I have done it for a couple of years with Ideamaker slicer.

Can't you use a modifier to subdivide as well, is loopcutting a bunch really the best option here? wouldn't work for complex models really

8:15 Hey bro you're doing a great job, even with those useless degrees😂. Keep up the good work! This was exactly the video I needed.

What texture did you use for the headcrab? It turned out amazing!

Ideamaker came out with this years ago in their slicer. Its pretty fast too

I'd like for various textures to be available in slicers, which seems like a normal progression from the Gaussian noise fuzzy skin texture we have now, but what would be more useful to me would be the ability to select surfaces to be textured as opposed to the current all-or-nothing texture selection. I'd like my functional parts to have texture on the outside to look better without having texture inside screw holes, on mating surfaces, etc.

Just found your channel, nice videos, nice editing, nice previews. Go further

How do you scale or do anything CAD in blender while holding the right dimensions? I can not design anything in blender without the dimensions getting totally effed up.

Technically you could sort of do this in prusa slicer. It supports SVG modifiers.

You can put textures on the sides using raise 3d's slicer idea maker I think.

Feels like the painting makes as much difference as the skin

I’m new to 3D printing, have learned to model in Fusion, can a pre made object be transferred to Blender then have this technique applied?

I’d really like to see how to put a finish on an already designed object and even limit or mix the texture. I’ve experimented but man it’s a deep rabbit hole.

Very cool Jake, you make Blender look easy, I'm totally lost. May I suggest, perhaps make these bags in sections that can be connected so they have movement and fluidity instead of being so rigid. From a design aspect they're awesome but functionally....not so much

I've spend hours/days/weeks/months trying to texture wrap different designs in fusion. Is blender the only way? The new formlabs meshy tool seems helpful. Can you make a video on adding texture in blender to models created in fusion?

Some slicers do have that ability, unfortunately they don't allow you to apply the texture to the contour of the object, only flat planes.

Subscribed.

Textures in Slicers would be amazing. But with more control where to be placed than fuzzy skin. I don't want my threads to be fuzzy skinned.

Wish we could do this in Fusion. I really cba to import my models into blender.

This is something I've been asking a lot of people online about and never really got a decent answer until now. Did start doing my 3D work in Blender, but since ended up moving to Fusion 360 due to the need for to make accurate parts. Could you build the model in Fusion 360 and export it, then import to Blender to add the texture, before exporting again and into the slicer?

I'd really like to see a wood grain texture applied.

while i like the idea of printing textures, i can't help but think 1 thing with the 'tote' bag you printed.... "is that a trashcan?"

Awesome

on thingiverse there is a crocodile skin wallet. i have printed it in tpu. the texture is gorgeous but the wallet design is an odd international design or something. too bulky. this past summer i designed and printed 2 'long' wallets. it really inspired me to delv more into testing the design parameters to encourage others to make vegan 'leather' 3d prints of purses, wallets and handbags. cause the potential is there it really is

I would prefer in blender to create a brush with a pattern and model that surfaces in sculpt mode with it. You also have the full control where the pattern appears and where not. As a side effect the painted pattern will get more random and realistic with this. Anyway , we can now apply easy text to any point of the surface with prusaSlicer, I think someone will extend it to patterns.

Ideamaker have texture function. Have had it for several years.

This is amazing! I’m new to TPU & wanted to ask if you would please do a video on how to make a smooth, thin mens wallet & how to fuse it together. I would gladly donate to the video. Thanks for sharing!!

Classic granny all the way ❤

How can we download some of those textures you were talking about?

I’d probably design it first in a CAD software and then apply the stuff in Blender otherwise the dimensions will be difficult to achieve.

My anxiety has increased just by watching that headcrab. He's just standing there... menacingly!

Tried following this... Cant do it... Not enough detail in your 'tutorial' to enable a noob like me. Is there a tutorial that doesnt rattle thru this at 800mph?

Ideamaker have it for a while now.

Great video but I wanted to see some of the printing itself

FASHION!

I found it impossible to follow. Are you using an old copy of blender? Mine did not appear to act like yours.

"3D Print Any Texture You Want!" Me: YAY *opens blender* Me: Ok i give up

Try Luban...

Came for the clockbait, stayed for the fashion.

This guy kicks the 'Vase -vs- Vaahse' pronunciation up a notch .. and he makes 'VAHS' .. omg . 0:47

no has probado ideamaker?? creo que podrias ahorrar mucho mas tiempo.

The 'fashion' made me subscribe.

Fashion!

HEADCRAB!!!!11!1!!1!!

I get it... But I'll keep using fuzzy skin. It's just a great way of hiding layer lines.

The very unused slicer ideaMaker have texture options.

Why? I have not even started yet 😮

Fuzzy skill isn't really a CAD feature.

bought an Ender 3v3 KE from you guys a few weeks ago and having serious bed issues, Creality just said to contact you :( about 2ml off on the bed sadly and prints are just not working well at all

Nothing says 3D printer fashion like a leathery portable wastebasket.

materas cuando

the only problem i see, is most things i make, are not, and cant be, made out of a grid.

How tf u doing this I still can’t get rid of layer lines

Excellent video! Thank you for the clear explanation, and for being concise and interesting! I like your bags. You definitely would have made a good fashion designer. Maybe now is not too late to start? Idk what God has planned for you, but it's certainly an interesting line of work and is very rewarding! God bless you, Jake. Jesus Christ loves you! And He died on a cross for your sins. I hope that you come to know Him! Because time is very short. And there is no better gift than to be loved, and to have your name written in the Lamb's Book of Life. God bless you!

Waht

0:30 - Shows Fuzzy skin parameters "thickness" and "point distance". Seconds later, proceeds to say "But we don't really have any control over the fuzzy skin" 🤷
