How it works

UV Relief and Texture Height Map Maker, step by step

Textured UV printing stacks ink where a grayscale height map tells it to: white is the tallest point, black stays flat. This tool makes that map from your image, the right way for a photo (brightness becomes height, softened so grain does not print as grit) or for a logo (a flat raised top with a sloped edge), and shows it lit in 3D before you spend a drop of ink.

  1. Drop a photo or a logoA transparent PNG keeps the relief to the art. Cut it out in Cutout Studio first.
  2. Choose what stands upLight parts for faces and fur, dark parts for line art, or the whole logo with a bevel.
  3. Set the heightUp to a few millimeters of ink, with smoothing, contrast and a base lift for fine detail.
  4. Print itA ready eufyMake relief project, or the height map for the xTool O1 or any texture-capable printer.

Why it is built this way

The decisions behind it

See it before you print itThe 3D preview lights the relief from the side, so you see what will catch the light and what will vanish.
Made for the printerThe eufyMake project opens with the relief texture, thickness and layers already set.

Questions

UV Relief and Texture Height Map Maker — common questions

How do I make a raised UV print from a photo?

Cut the subject out first so only it is raised, then turn its brightness into height: light parts raised for fur, faces and landscapes, dark parts raised for line art. Soften it a little so the grain of the photo does not print as grit, and keep the height modest (1 to 2 mm reads beautifully). This tool does each of those steps.

What is a height map?

A grayscale image where brightness means height: white is the tallest point, black is flat. Textured and relief UV printers stack layers of ink to follow it. The same map works on any printer that accepts one.

Does it work with the eufyMake E1 and xTool O1?

For the eufyMake E1 it writes a relief project that opens in eufyMake Studio with the texture, thickness and ink already set. For the xTool O1 it writes an xTool Studio project in Relief print with your height map already loaded as the depth map, so you do not spend credits generating one.
