  • images aligned to grid in photoshop dont align on a plane in cinema 4d

    Posted by Nick Patten on August 16, 2010 at 12:36 pm

    Hi
    I m trying cinema 4d out as I found a good tutorial on how to create a mosaic of pictures flying.

    I have not used cinema 4d before and I have a problem.

    In Photoshop I created a document 9000 px x 9000 px.
    I set the grid size to 100 px and 1 division.

    I align all my small images in the grid to cover the text I want to reveal. All of the pictures are snaped to the grid and they are all 100 x 100 px.

    I load the png in the colour channel in the material editor and in the alpha channel because the mosaic is over a text and some of the background is transparent.

    I create a plane 9000 cm x 9000 cm so aspect ratio is correct for the material. I add 100 width segments and 100 height segments.

    Now I can see when I put the material on the the images do not aligned within the squares created on the plane with the width and height segments. And I dont understand why.

    Can anyone help?
    Many thanks

    Very sorry I m so bad at maths at times. Issue was that it need it to be multiple of 100 the document size so I made it 10000×10000 and pcitures are fine now when I break them apart.
