Opacity maps does NOT show when converting to Stl

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I have a problem: i used opacity maps in my 3ds max project file instead of modeling the shapes. and now i need to 3d print the model and the opacity map is not visible in the converted stl model. what should i do? please help me!
Thanks in Advance

hi, I think the stl format does not support maps but just geometry

So what formats support maps so that i can 3d print the model? any ideas? Thanks

I don't think any format will support 3D print of opacity maps. You'll have to model it.

are there any other maps for that that works with 3d printing? maybe
displacement or any other sulotion

No

If you used opacity maps to give the appearance of holes try using Boolean substract to create real holes.
