I'm using Cinema4D to make my model, and I'd like to print in full color sandstone. I understand that I need to export it as VRML and tag it with "has color". Does that just mean add "has color" to the filename?
My main problem is this... I have C4D's units set up as cm. My entire design fits within a 4 cm cube. When I upload the file to Shapeways, it tells me my design is 100.00 x 296.00 x 368.48 cm. There must be some step that I'm missing while exporting.
I go to File > Export > VRML 2 (.wrl) and these are my settings:
Scale ... 1 (Centimeters)
Format ... (checkmarked)
Backface Culling ... (not checkmarked)
Save Animation ... (not checkmarked)
Textures ... Referenced
Should I checkmark Backface Culling? Should I change the Textures to "With File" instead of "Referenced"?
And when using a texture file, do you recommend having the file in the same exact folder as the .wrl file, or having it in the usual "tex" folder that C4D likes?
I really appreciate any help. Thanks!
