Hello Lorin.

1. To add textures to a material, first you need to open your materials library and create a new material. Add the texture file in the Texture location through using the browse button. See the following image:

2. When you are looking at the 3D preview of an image, printing the page will save a 3D image. See the following:

3. There are multiple options for creating more realistic renders. See the following link for more information:

From PolyBoard and StairDesigner models to photorealistic renders in Blender

Although, considering new developments with AI, I now find it much faster and easier to use Google Gemini. If you take a screenshot of your PolyBoard file and then upload to Gemini, it will generate an improved render for you. See a basic example below through Google Gemini, and I asked for some additional details (such as the person and cat):

Hello. Could you show me how to add colours/textures taken from the internet to add to my project? Also, what options do I have to send the project to the client but as a picture rather that file? Last but not least, are there other platforms that can we used with polyboard to create realistic renderings of the project?
