Thanks Bob. The standard grid is just a little to large get any fine detail with the warp, perhaps it’s not possible to add points?

Cheers,

Cracked it!!

Realised what I was doing wrong, I was adding the logo to the blue material instead of keeping the blue material seperate and adding the logo on top!

So I needed 2 materials, one standard blue, one with the logo on.

But this still wasn’t showing the blue until I tried changing the display to show the materials as stacked (a tip I picked up from the tutorial link you sent me earlier) – it worked!!

Thanks all for your help!

I’ll run through how I’ve created it from scratch, as you may be able to spot where I’m going wrong…

I created a sphere and made it editable, created a new material making the colour blue then I’ve tried several things…

In the material editor, I added the logo using the ‘texture’ tab in the colour tab – this then shows the white background behind the logo from the PSD photoshop file (the logo is on a separate layer in photoshop).

So then I selected the alpha tab and loaded the same image into the texture tab – this keeps the white background but makes the sphere appear transparent, so I can see the other side of the sphere through the logo and the blue disappears, but the material editor shows it as blue.

So I tried adding the logo into the same tabs as above but using an illustrator 8 file instead – this just shows up black!

I’m sure there is a really simple solution and I’ve probably made a beginners mistake somewhere along the lines!!

Thank you! That’s helped a lot. I’ve been playing with the settings for adjusting the size of the logo and can get a few logos tiled into the sphere, some nice effects to try!

Still not having much luck with the background, it’s still not showing, but just got to keep practising I think!

Thanks again for your help!
