I am looking for a way to model mold-tech finishes on
surfaces inSolidworks.
Does anyone know of a quick way to do this or a plugin or thirdparty product that would help?

You can, however, using Photoworks, which is part of SW OfficePremium, and possibly other upgraded versions of Solidworks. With photoworks you can make your own custom textures for allsurfaces. I do not have photoworks, so hopefully someone who doeshave it can tell you whether it can do custom bump-mapping ornot.
Bump-mapping is where an image file is applied like a texture, butinteracts with the light sources in the model, and does notactually apply color to the surfaces.
