    I’m making a promo for a PS3 giveaway and I wanted to animate a 3D model of the system. How can I use my jpeg image to turn it into, or map onto, a 3D object?

    Hi ctheslender,

    You can do it a couple of ways – using layermapping or by simply adding the image to a material and applying that material to the face of the object. You will probably want to crop the image because borders affect how it will be applied to the object. You may also want ot change the resolution of the image and save it as a tga file.

    Hope this helps.

    Jon
