How do I texture this?

Post by froo »

Ok; I've never really done any texturing before.
Every triangle / face on this object will have some text on it.
How do I do that? Texture map? How do I do that? I know I know...

R T M :lol:

This is for an interactive toy. I hope you'll have lots of fun using it.

Thanks!

Froo

EDIT:
This object is not the actual scale. It's larger than this one shown.

There are a quite a few ways you could go about this and it would really depend on whether you had any restrictions (ie game engine) as to which method would be best. The most simplistic way would be to go into PE mode, select each face of your object in turn and assign it a Plannar UV Projection. Then, with the Material Editor, you could just use the Paint Face tool to apply seperate textures to each part. HTH.

I'd go with 3D text, type it up and past it on each surface... just the style I'd prefer :)
