  using 1 texture across mulitple objects?

  Posted by Catweasel on January 9, 2007 at 2:57 pm

  Hi,
  Im a newbie to C4d Im afraid, but what I am trying to do is sim a video wall, using multiple 50cm sq panels not necessarily in a full 4×3 rectangle and with the odd panel missing
  xxxxx
  xx xxxx
  xx xxxxx
  xxxxxxxx
  for example, what Id like to do is assign a texture that covers all the objects, and each object to only display the bmp that covers it.
  If this could be done only on the front face, all the better!
  Is there an easy way to do this with tweaking each objects texture individually? A way to merge them together for example, although Id like to be able to move them possibly later!

  Cheers

  Chris

  Group them and apply your material to the entire group. Use a flat projection and use Texture –> Fit to object. Include all sub-objects. Front & Backface usage is also a property of the texture tag itself. You can find all you need there.
