Sizing textures
Rookie question here-
I made a tube with these specs-
INNER RAD- 445
OUTER RAD- 450
ROTATION SEG- 10
CAP SEG-1
HEIGHT- 175
HIEGHT SEG- 1Right now it is still a primitive object. I want to create a texture that has stills of several products on it and wrap the outside of the tube with the texture so it looks like, well, a tube with a bunch of products pasted to the outside of it. The tube has a glass material applied to it so it is slightly transparent. See the image to see what I have now-Question is how do I size the texture properly when I create it in photoshop so that it doesn’t distort the images in the texture?
Also, how can I keep the texture only on the outside face of the tube, and not wrap around to the inside face?
Thanks!
Matt

Okay folks, after a little (ok, alot) of futzing, I got this far. Not I can’t get how to get my texture to show on the OUTSIDE of the ring, not the inside.
Any ideas?

As far as I know, the only way to do it is to make the primitive editable, select the inner polygons, create a polygon selection tag, and restrict your texture to the selection (drag the tag into the tex tag’s “Selection” box).
