not sure how to do this..

Thanks for the help

Hi Guys, after reading this I thought I would have a go at attaching an image to a surface aswell. I have to create a marketting banner containing images of our products.


I have managed to wrapthe image onto a surface, however when I render the part in a room, the decal doesnt show, which button am I not pressing ? Any ideas ?

Are you using Decal, Bump or color texture. to place the Image

Here are a couple more examples on using decals:

Take a look toward the bottom of that first link. It describes offsetting the image just above the surface.

I used a decal, but I only messed around for 10 minutes yesterday. I just thought beings that I was almost there with the decal on the surface that it was simply just a "tick-box" that I hadn`t ticked to enable it to render.


I will have another go at it today if I get chance, and also read through the extra links posted.


Thanks

I think the offset surface might be what your missing. you might what to turn down the Reflection of the color that
