Drape image on 3D object
« on: March 23, 2007, 02:53:27 PM »
Can '07 drape(?) an image over a 3D object I've created? Like apply a material to the surface kinda thing.

You read James Maeding's post in the adesk DBs didn't ya? ;)

You can apply materials to a surface, yes, but I'm wondering why the term 'drape' seems to be used specially.  Is there actions that go with the term 'drape' that applying a material doesn't normally do, such as conforming differently to curves or wrapping around?

I guess that's what I was thinking yes. I want to 'drape' and aerial ( 6" pixel ) over a drainage ditch I have to model.

Thought maybe it was more than coincidence.  Ah well :)

Looks like you figured it out!  The only thing when you have precise images like that to do, is to make sure it is mapped correctly on there.

Yeah you run into trouble throwing a rectified image on terrain like that, usually the image is rectified to be on a flat plane, and throwing slopes on it screws it up, unless the image is projected down onto the terrain, not draped.

Making sense?

Must be on a flipped face. You'll notice it's correct on the end of the tube.

The swamps swamped   :-o

I frequently attach aerial photographs onto 3D terrain models but the
surface must be a polymesh as opposed to the usual 3Dface surfaces.
