Adding Logo to Ornament
Hello faithful creatives!
I’m pretty new at C4D, so I’m sure my question can be easily answered, but I’m stuck.
I have a scene that I downloaded from turbosquid that has a Christmas tree branch and an ornament. I’m trying to add my logo to the red ornament, but I want it to look like it was engraved on the ornament, while still maintaining it’s silver appearance. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Take your logo (with alpha) and put it into the displacement part of the material…then in displacment turn on sub-poly displacement

hmmm…this sort of works, but it’s not really what I’m looking for. Any other ideas?
The ornament has now lost it’s smoothness, and the logo goes inward, rather than outward…
thanks

You can control the direction of the engraving by using ie.-3 or 3 one wil indent the other will extrude.
here is a file that shows how I would set it up. Sorry if it doesnt fit your looking for.

If the ornament model uses triangles or ngons, chances are that displacement won’t produce a very good result. I would use a regular old bump map instead. If that doesn’t give enough depth effect, you might try tracing your logo with a spline, projecting the spline on the ornament, and then extruding the spline.
