hirscr Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Im trying to create a representation of the Eden Project in a pretty basic form. So I did the "mesh google earth image onto object" instructions. So mapping it onto a correctly sized rectangle isn't a problem The problem comes when I want to bulge out the parts where it bulges in reality. I made a few spheres where they should go, then I made a union of the spheres and the bottom rectangle. I thought since it is one solid now after being united, it would mesh a single image over the whole object. It doesn't. How can I get it to mesh a single image over multiple objects?

Tech Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hi Hirscr, Spheres automatically get Spherical Mapping by default, but if you get the Map Texture tool, set this to Flat, and then click on your object, you can then use the Edit Texture tool to get what you want... Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirscr Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Yes, but it flipped the image when I did that and now it doesn't match the geometry. I don't see a way to change the orientation of the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirscr Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 I had made a union of the geometry before I meshed the image on there. Does meshing the image work if the geometries are not union? I could then move the spheres around to match as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Try this: Pick the Spheres, click the Attributes Tab of the Pick Options, and uncheck the Render As Shaded Surface. Then you can move them around as you like, and once you Union, then you can Flat Map everything as described above. Does that get you what you want?
