  Texturing Issue

  Posted by Wolfgang Zimmermann on January 22, 2013 at 4:58 pm

  I’m working on modelling some products and have run into an issue, i’m currently modelling a brushed steel tin and have got the material looking great, now i want to place a layer on top of that (some stars that are on the actual product) i have the stars as a pdf and the background is alpha. does anyone know a way to add this without effecting the other material? thanks.

  Just create a separate material with the stars and alpha and drag it on top of your object. As long as the second material’s texture tag is to the right of the base material’s tag, and the material has an alpha, it will be overlaid on top.

  Thanks Adam that worked, I was wondering if you could help again. The secondary layer is appearing pixelated and the image i’m using is a huge pdf so I dont think the resolution is the problem. Attached is a screenshot and a picture of the actual product, any idea why it’s appearing so pixelated?

  I’m not sure how well supported pdf is in Cinema. You might try converting that texture to tiff or some other format and see if that helps.
