3D Scanned model

[Lukeorford]

OK I was wondering how I would apply texture to a 3d scanned model.

I have an oryx which has been scanned using a 3d scanner and in .stl format and i need to apply materials to it as in the same way as this pattern.

is there a way to produce a skin which i can apply the material to or am I thinking of something that is not even possible?

Thanks
