Patch Image How-to

[robcat2075]

I was asked how to apply a decal to one patch

1. Have images in the Images folder
2. Select the patch
3. on the selection and choose "Add Image"
4. Choose an image from the drop down list
5. The image can be rotated in 90° increments with "Rotate Images"

 

You can select multiple patches in step 2 if you want to apply the image to repeat on multiple patches.

Cautions:

Patch Images often do not shade correctly when used as bump or displacement maps.

this is NOT working for me on ver 15

I am stuck it used to be so easy

[TheSpleen]

If I can get over this problem I would be up and running

[TheSpleen]

ok I think I figured out what I did wrong

When I render it out the image is there

Whats the mode I need to be in to see it without rendering?

For those that do not know me I have made 50+ videos

won 3 awards then had several strokes

I am trying to make a comeback

Hi Gene! Good to see you back.

Try this and tell me what doesn't work...

I still cannot see it like you can unless I render

 

[TheSpleen]

I learned alot from that but still do not know the mode your in

[TheSpleen]

ok, If I hit the red star icon I can now see it

The star turns decal drawing on and off.

You must have added that to your pallete since that is not a default tool.

 

CTRL-D will also toggle decals on and off
