I want the textures because I want to have a ship printed with a material jetting 3d printer. See here for a sample of what such a printer can do. Can't wait to get it working...

Thanks! I'll have a look. Yesterday I even baked a texture from a part, copied the part and created a simple material for it with the new texture. It worked for the export to .obj, but the texture quality wasn't good and baking took a considerable time. A direct export will be much better.

That was a fast reply @taniwha I was about to write on the other topic asking about textures. Yes, they are loaded. I even went and manually changed the shaders so they look right in blender. What I need is to export the model with the textures to an .obj file or something equivalent, but the textures didn't make it when I tried. I am fairly new to blender. Maybe is something simple that I am missing... Great work on the add-on, BTW.

I am also looking at printing some of my ships. So far I've been able to install the blender add-on from @taniwha and import a ship. I think I can generate a printable .stl file but I want the textures as well, and I'm still working on the later. Did you try this blender add-on? I could help you with the installation, if you get stuck.
