  3D Map

  Posted by Martin Majer on November 30, 2011 at 8:36 pm

  Hi, I want to make 3D map (like this one) so I usedthis tutorial.I made paths from normal map in photoshop, exported it to .ai, and then put the whole NULL object with all paths under the Extrude Nurb and check Hierarchical toggle. I got the effect I wanted, but I can’t apply textures to the paths – 3D objects I got. Is there any way, how I can put texture on the top of the object ( like this).

  Thanks, Martin

  EDIT: This is what I have. When I put the path into the NULL object, the texture is only on the sides – picture. Any ideas? I am beginner and I can’t figure this out.

  You need to tell the material to be on the CAP of the extrude nurbs.
  If you select the material tag on the object, there is a n empty field called ” SELECTION” type in C1 or C2 there and see what happens.

  In addition to that you may need to change your projection type, flat mapping will most likely be the best you will need to adjust the material to look right.

  Another option is to take the splines (paths) that you want to texture into their own extrude nurds and make them editable then you can drop a texture on with out any issue.

  I changed mapping to cubic and selection to C1 and it works. Thank you so much.
