  • How can I UV map images and video to this shape easily?

    Posted by Kevin Camin on October 15, 2012 at 8:25 pm

    I would like to do something similar to this; I would like picture and video mapped to the shape.

    What would be the easiest way to do this? I am familiar with UVW mapping. I was thinking it might be best to make the number ’40’ a polygon without rounded edges, just hard edges. Then unwrap the UV. Map my bitmap to the unwrapped UV. This is where I get stuck. I want to then round the edges slightly without messing things up in my UV.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Best regards,

    you can’t change the mesh afterwards or it changes the UVs and your work is changed. For this I would think Cubic mapping
