How do I use Texture Map Controls

Anonymous — Thu, 12 Dec 2019 00:44:51 GMT

I have a model with a lot of faces, and I need to apply a texture to it. I have tryed to use Texture Map Controls, but it does not work. Here are some photos of the model in Fusion and what I want it to look similar to, as well as the texture map I would like to use.Reference

BRep

T-Spline

Texture Map

You're using entirely the wrong software for this task!

1. your model is a low-poly mesh model.

2. UV texture mapping of organic geometry is not in Fusion 360's DNA

Blender would be a better choice for this.

Because I am planing on manufacturing this (model), I was going to apply a texture in Fusion, but I think I'll have to manually change the materials used and put on decals; I will have to paint the manufactured product. And thank you for replying.

You can 3D print that perfectly fine from Blender.

Now that I've taken another look at the images you posted, it looks like you converted a quad mesh model to a BRep. That also is not the best idea. If I am not mistaken this can be converted into a T-Spline and would be much smoother.

Could you share the original mesh file (NOT the Fusion 360 .f3d file) ?
