Mapping a Photograph To A Single Face (and a BUG too)

2008-03-25 Thread studio

I thought I would use a simple example of mapping a photo
to an SDS Face in this latest Tutorial I'm doing .

(the Bug is at the bottom of the mail)

This quote from the manual :

 The easiest way to attach materials to faces is using drag
 drop.  The manual cleverly shows a 'Face Mapping' example
but using a 'Marble' texture , not a photo .

This doesn't work for simply adding a photo to the single
face . RS maps it as though the Face is only supposed to
have some of the photo on it .

Below the Marble Mapping example is an example of how to
more accurately map images using Map2Object .

 The other option is to open up the 'UV Editor' and drag
points until the photo fits (if a face is visible there)

 Anyway , seems to me that there should be some very simple to
use option of just selecting a material and have it mapped to a
single face without having to use Map2Object .

***
BUG -

1) Switch to Top View
2) Create an SDS Polygonal cube 
3) Switch to 'Face Edit Mode'
4) Select the top face and drop a texture onto it 
5) OpenGL shows it has been mapped to the bottom face

6) Rendering shows it has actually been mapped to the top

Forgot to mention the 'UV Set' Option (dragging a photo to
the corresponding 'UV Set') Works well for simple objects ,
but for mapping a Sphere object , with a different photo
for every face ...
