I'm trying to import an .stl file of a mermaid but the one provided here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:182231/ needs to be rotated 45 degrees to get the look my SO wants. I can rotate it in Blender and save it out to a new .stl and import it but when I do, there isn't a lot of relief. I assume it's due to the depth of the .stl and it needs to be "compressed" to generate a better image. I don't know how to accomplish this and looking for tips/tricks to bring it in. Any help out there?
Thanks,
Tracy
