  Making a layer map fit a polygon vector shape

  Posted by Topher Welsh on January 16, 2008 at 6:01 pm

  Sorry for the wierd title… I am trying to make a logo in 3D Invigorator, and I traced the outline of the logo thinking that i could just set the logo as the layer map for the face and back, and create the edges with materials and everything.

  Creating the vectors was no problem, but when I set the image as a layer map (since the logo itself is a polygon) it fits the image inside of it by the corners and doesnt match up to where it should be…

  here are some images to help you see what I am talking about.

  This is the logo in photoshop when I extracted it from its background:

  This is the what it looks like after I apply it as a layer map in AE:

  If anyone can help I will be immensely grateful… I’m pulling my hair out trying the figure this out.

  Yeah, I tried that, and it didnt’ work, but I realized that i was using just the IMAGE as the layer map…

  I tried precomping the .psd layer and applying that as the layer map and it actually worked…

  But thanks for the Reply!
