The workaround i've suggested above works well - it took me too many hours to dig out this solution.
I just uploaded
test #3 another full color test model with accurate intact textures.
The best solution so far that i came up during all the "research" that i've been doing lately with full color printing, exporting/importing back and forth using many 3d software tools and which unfortunately shapeways software doesn't recognize - is a very cool utility which was written by am Italian student that basically "bakes" the textures into the model.
The end result is a single wrl file with NO textures.
Meaning.. no textures/parts mess which is perfect for every one not just newbies.
Again unfortunately only Cortona3D viewer for Firefox can display this file... other tools including meshlab 1.3.0b don't.
But beside all that... shapeways has ignored too many requests on the forum by practically anyone about that wax coating that kills the white color and subsequently
dims all other colors.
I sent another color model to print with a request to CS not to coat it with wax - hopefully it will arrive with vivid colors.
I will coat it myself with a simple clear epoxy quick-dry spray.
This worked great before.
I will share results when it arrive.
