decals!

decals!

(OP)
hey guys, im working with rhino 4, actually im trying to build a model based on a raster image reference. i need it set on a surface which is gonna be adjusted around during work, so i thought about decals. i never did it, then i checked Vray help, i found the steps and i followed what was explained.
the decal doesnt display.
damn.

do someone have a tip?

thx

RE: decals!

uni1,

You can paste an image into a sketch.  Much simpler than putting a decal on the surface.  Check the help.

RE: decals!

I assumed the image was coming from rhino.  As for working IN rhino... I dunno.  Since you're asking in a SWX forum, I assume you have access to SWX.  You could do your trace in SWX and then export the curves to rhino as iges.

RE: decals!

When do work like this I tend to insert the image into a sketch and trace from there.  SW has an AutoTrace function, but it's next to useless.  Not sure about Rhino, though.
