Its going to be printed.

Do i have to model it?
Can i do it completely with texturing Displace map?  Do you know any tutorials?


Thanks

Do you have to show your zipper open at all? If not I would model  the extrusion the zipper creates and then place a zipper texture on top.

A quick google search later and I found a zipper that looks visually similar, and should be good enough to make a displacement/bump map out of.

Anyone tried Corona Scatter along splines, using a step for regular placement? Should let you bend the spline, to have an open or closed zipper
