[Edit]

He's got them up for download on a website now: http://velocitypainting.webutu.com/

I see that you and others are beta testing windows . what a great idea.  Just picked up a roll of petg and am building an ft5  so this could be interesting.

The basic steps for this were:

1) Export gcode for the vase just like normal, except change all speed values to the same value and disable any minimum layer time. I used 30mm/s for PETG.

2)Open Velocity Painting program and select gcode from step 1. Then select the pattern/picture you want to 'paint' onto the surface. The High and Low settings are the High speed and Low speeds that the head will move at to produce the shading effect. I used 10mm/s for Low and 30mm/s for High. Select the destination folder where you want it to save the painted.gcode and hit Generate!

3) If all goes well you should have a painted.gcode file ready to print! I don't own, but am told that S3D will preview the gcode with the speed changes in different colors, letting you preview the painting effect before actually printing it. I tried doing this with previews in Cura and Repetier-Host but it didn't work.

Basically he wrote a script that alters the gcode of a print to speed up or slow down the head so the difference in speed produces different shades of the same color. I highly encourage you to check out his Twitter page for some really great examples, especially his print of Adalinda by loubie(http://www.thingiverse.com/make:295944).

Come along Guillaume(https://twitter.com/dkvef445) who wrote the beta programs to run on OSX and Windows recently, and now anyone can enjoy Velocity Painting!

I attached my first test print with V.P. and it came out pretty well on our TAZ5 in PETG.
