  wrapping .ai pattern around object

  Posted by Dean Eastment on October 28, 2015 at 1:23 pm

  hi all,

  first post on here – so be gentle with me!!

  what i am trying to do is as follows – i have an illustrator doc of a spiderweb pattern/image – i want to add it to an existing .c4d file, and rather than it be a flat material i want the lines to create a 3d pattern that wraps around the object…

  i am not even sure of the terminology to search on google – but the shapes i want to apply the .ai contents to can be either an extrude nerbs object or a motet object…

  not sure if that isn’t too vague – but basically the main is to wrap the spiderweb around the object and give it a 3d (bump map?) effect…

  any starting point will be a help – as i don’t really know what the best way of doing would be :-/

  thanks in advance

  not clear but I think you want:
  – the spiderweb wrapped around something – if so, what? the complexity of the object makes a difference
  – the spiderweb isn’t a flat extrude but has ’round threads’

  yes, or something different?
