say i wanted to print a marble column (don't worry about dimensions)....now obviously not a real marble column, but a column that looks exactly like marble without feeling like or being as strong as marble. In terms of smoothness and color detail, how well can 3d printing print something like that??? or would it be easier to paint the structure to look marble after printing?

or a tree....if the 3d model is extremely accurate to a real tree, could the printer print a tree with the exact detail of a real tree, making it look indistinguishable from real bark...and would it be easier to paint over the structure after or have the printer "color it" for me??
