Newbie to texturing

How To
1

I’m getting around to working with textures for a project and I’m trying to figure out how to apply them to a 3D object.

I was able to create some texture options in Carbide Create but I wasn’t sure if there is a way to do the same on top of a 3D object.

I’ve attached my test file for reference.

Thanks in advance!

Carbide Create does not have a mechanism for mapping a texturing toolpath to a 3D model. It will show a text cutting into a 3D model, but there may be some “air-cutting” if the model is not relatively flat compared to the depth of the 3D model.

Usually for 3D, folks just model the texture into the design.
