Nov 14, 2015 at 21:35 comment added m.ardito textures are not vertex colors... but you could check this wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/UV/…
Nov 14, 2015 at 21:24 comment added RabidTunes I've actived the checkbox in the exporter panel of 3D printing tools but my 3D model in Meshlab remains grey. Maybe the textures did not apply to the meshes? I've only seen the textures when i render, not in the 3D model previsualization of blender.
Nov 14, 2015 at 21:08 comment added m.ardito I've seen all videos from this title blender3d.org/e-shop/product_info.php?products_id=160, since it is provided by the "blender cloud" subscription, it is quite useful to begin with blender and 3d printing, and covers also multicolor printing.
Nov 14, 2015 at 21:05 comment added m.ardito Yes, of course, 3d printing files are usually just "shapes", not textured objects (3d printer don't understand texture images). Some printer that can print multiple colours can understand "vertex colours", though, and the PLY exporter can take those in the exported file (active by default, see the checkbox in the exporter panel before exporting)
Nov 14, 2015 at 20:58 comment added RabidTunes Thanks! That solved my problem about exporting, but now i opened with Meshlab the ply object exported with the 3D printing toolbox and it appears all grey, look: link Did i do something wrong to not export the color? In the render view the textures show up fine... (if you think this should go on a separate question just tell me, im rather new to stack exchange though im trying to do my best...)
