3D Terrain Stl Files

[Teazia]

Hello there, Does anyone have a link to stl files for printable Heroscape terrain? So far I have only found a blank hex, and there is a printed wall on sale on Shapeways that is a bit too spendy when I could print it for a few pennies. In reality, perhaps only a hex negative space item is needed, and anything could be glued on top of that. Cheers!

I have one here. I made it in ProE. It prints good enough on my printer.

I also have a 7 hex tile, but I haven't uploaded it to Heroscapers.com. And I have a file for the bridge half-hex pieces.

Oh very good. Color me interested in your other files!

@White Knight - Have you ever considered making a set of ruins that are mirror images of the RoTV ones? I'd LOVE to have something like that and have looked around on the forum but haven't found anything that fits the bill.

It always struck me as odd that both the small and large ruin turned the same direction

I have the VirtualScape files, and I can mirror in Blender, so it's easy to print them out. The problem is, they don't have any texture--so they look like flat walls, not like bricks.

Not knowing anything about Blender, how hard would it be to apply some sort of texture (not necessarily what is on the Hasbro walls) that would then paint up fairly nicely?

The TEXTURE feature in Blender is cosmetic only. I couldn't figure out a way to add a 3D texture to a surface.

I made a road hex surface putting different sized bumps on a hex tile, but it took a while because I had to add them one by one (copying from a few masters of course).

The only other way I can think of is to make a 3D inverse texture and use Boolean operators to subtract that texture from the original surface.

Boolean operators

Were they in Star Wars?

I believe what you're looking for is displacement maps. These are like textures that modify actual geometry of a model.

ooooh! That's looks exactly like what I'm looking for!

More homework.

Please, share your results. My 3D printer's idle right now :P

I don't play a lot of Heroscape currently, but I'd like to find some time to design new terrain like lava geysers or new bridges.

Printing the single hex in transparent blue right now.. Sparkly!
