bottle label

[annovi.frizio]

hi sorry my bad english, i search a tutorial for draw a bottle label (cilinder) in sketchup (sample. http://www.candybarwrap.com/images/lill ... sample.jpg) please help me, thank you, regards

Here's one for a label onto a curved surface - you can apply the ideas to a single curved bottle.

To make the bottle itself draw a circle for its plan and a half section face - followme the section around the circle, add transparent material etc...

Hi, frizio
Assuming that you have already made a bottle, you can wrap your texture around it - check out this thread for some additional info

Here's an alternative to using a 'projected-texture' - it's a 'wrapping' method viewtopic.php?p=100569#p100569

As long as the projection does not go too much around the object you are projecting it onto, it is fine as the distortion on the sides is not that visible.

Once it goes too much onto the sides however,the wrapping method is much more preferred (though bit more laborious) and in any case, it gives a much more precise result.

No problem, Fabricio. We all started somewhere! I still remember when I discovered SketchUp some 4+ years ago...
