Thread Textures - ACME Profile

grabcad

To address the absence of cosmetic thread textures in Autodesk Showcase 2015, a comprehensive image set has been created. It includes a texture image, a normal map essential for optimal results in Showcase, and a bump or displacement map compatible with other applications that support bump maps but not normal maps. The lines are non-skewed, requiring rotation post-application to form a helical wrap. This flexibility allows scaling and rotating the thread map to create threads of various sizes and numbers of starts, representing an ACME trapezoidal profile.
