  • C4D 11.5 applying a logo/picture

    Posted by Forest Jacobsen on November 14, 2010 at 6:30 pm

    I have Cinema 4D 11.5 now. What I need to know is how to apply an image to only a specific area of an object i.e. a sphere. I have tried making it edible and selecting the area but that only applies a portion of the image. help.

    *Click on any texture tag;
    *in the attributes manager right-click on the word “material”;
    *choose “show help” from the context menu;
    *read the help docs.

    You need to scale and position your texture.

    Read the help docs on the texture tool, they are most informative.

    I would advise not to eat the polygons. they might get stuck in your throat 🙂

    Have you been able to get the image onto the polygons you selected and not the whole sphere? If so then you are half way there. like I said before, use the texture tool to scale and resize the texture to fit the selection. Make sure you don’t have the texture projection on UVW Mapping, otherwise the texture tools won’t work. play with the other projection modes.
