Do you have some tips? I'm beginer :)

Might be hell to do in SketchUp, maybe with show geometry and texture each face.

Maybe you could start with a straight cylinder, texture it, and then bend it afterwards? I can't figure out how to map a cylinder in sketchup, there must be some way to unwrap it as a whole, rather than doing each face individually?

 

[sfrenchie]

Hum, I can't think of a convenient way to bend a cylinder.
You might lookup YouTube, they have quite a few videos @ "SketchUp projected texture"

Cool did someone know how to texture a building with photoreal? or custom textures?

If I remember correctly there's quite a nice option if you go to File->Import. Select at the bottom for file type all supported images and the on the right tick the box that says use as texture. There's also somewhere where you can set/limit/unlimit the size of the imported texture. Will find out where exactly.

You can straighten and use the photo in your first post:



First use the lasso tool to select a rectangular area

Copy & paste the selected area as a layer, make a rectangular color fill layer that approximates the needed shape

Select the cut out layer, use transform > distort to pull the corners onto the color fill layer

Trim up the edges, delete the color fill layer, position the straightened cutout onto your texture sheet and apply it to your model.

An easier way, IMO,...

From the original image...

...use the crop tool and draw a random crop box...

...check the Perspective box and drag the corners to where you want them, right click and "crop"...

This method lets PS do the transforming.

Thank you very much

Hope to find other Hammerfest Pics

I used to be able to show all vertex and triangles and now I can't remember how to do it to save my life???
I've tried wire view, hidden geometry and more.

 

[Marc L]

You are all very experienced, I thank you all.

don't forget, I'm not making Hammerfest, I'm learning about conception I don't know if it will be released

I have a new question: How to do Mesh? (Vertical cliffs etc) I have Global Mapper, I wanna active a trial licence when I'm ready (but GeoTIFF are requiers, and I don't knot what is this :/

I'm gratful for your patience with me

Greeting, Marc

Sorry for Double post:
your tips for Texturing is cool, thanks , my only need is....more pictures (as I said, I'm learning this is not an official project)

Thank for your Great help

Cheers, Marc

PS: don't forget my question about mesh
