I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.
This is quite amazing! To be fair I’ve never seen hydrographic printing before so I was already amazed before I saw the UV mapping/inverse unwrapping awesomeness.
real life UV mapping.
That is pretty cool! But I wanted to see them print the globe! :(
You mean map the globe?
Sure, although it seems like they are calling it printing, but it really doesn’t matter as long as everyone understands what is being refered to.
Map the globe! :D funny

Wow , finally possible to have colored 3d printing. :)
They had colored 3d printing for a while, it is just REALLY expensive because they have to constantly swap out/blend colored printing materials
Not really – Full Color printing is actually quite cheap:
