wrap design around surface ? i´m stuck

Postby tibet » Sun Feb 26, 2012 7:42 pm

hi,
i wonder how many techniques are available, when i need to wrap face around non-flat surface/faceeg. a mug?

i usually import dxf file,then make face (make faces 1.4) and try to stick to the surface of an object.

i know just projection or intersect faces techniques ( design is often much larger/longer than sample below )

is there any other faster way to eg around an object( even non flat and bumpy surface ) please?

thanks for your valuable tips !





just a couple of thoughts here.

there is another harder question, how to put graphic to a outer ball, then to project to inner ball.

I had fun with this a while back, not sure if it works in v8, or maybe TIG's 'super glue'[ can't remember name...] john
