How to create actual bumpy/pebbled surface for 3D printing?

[Anonymous]

I want to create a pebbled surface, covered in small bumps, to be used in something that will eventually be 3D printed.  A bump-map is just a cosmetic appearance, isn't it?  How can I make a pebbled surface with the actual polygonal geometry?

Thanks

Hi!

Use Displacement (can be baked) or a Texture Deformer.
