| Does Shapeways support texture filtering? [message #53868] Tue, 11 September 2012 13:25 UTC |

Hi all,
I'm attempting to make an app to launch along side a game I'm working on, and I was wondering if there was any way of specifying Shapeways to use Point or Nearest filtering for my textures for 3D models?
When I render my character in an engine, it renders perfectly when the filter mode is set, but the Shapeways 3D viewer always applies Bilinear or Trilinear filtering, and for a pixel art based game, this breaks the look. I've attempted to add TextureProperties to my x3d file, but it seems that Shapeways importer doesn't like them - it rejects those models, and accepts again when removing that TextureProperties tag.
Thanks in advance

I have found a work around. Upscaling my textures to 1024x1024 using a point/nearest upscale, and using those in the models simulates point, as it downscales ( which seems to default to nearest neighbour ). It'd be nice to know if there's an option or if that's coming?

Hi dgoemans,
I have asked our 3D developers to step in and answer this for you, I"m afraid I don't know either..

The issue is how the 3D printers that support color handle it. On the backend we change your X3D file to a VRML file which doesn't have support for TextureProperty nodes. So I'd basically have to pull a trick like you did to get the behavior.
Most of the large voxel based stuff I've been seeing has mostly used per-vertex-color to get accurate coloring. Would that have worked for you or do you see unique value in the texture approach?
