Re: Books & Book Sleeves I mentioned it in another post for someone else: correct texturing is one of the most difficult things in 3D modelling. Fortunately a book is a box type model. A box has 6 sides and from what I understand from your question you want to texture all sides to represent a real book. The easiest way is to create images with the same scale as each side of the box. Applying such an image to a side should perfectly fit and align with the surface of that side. Since the bottom and the top are the same with only page edges you only need one image you can use on both but still create it with same scale as the side it is put on. You can maybe use it also for the long side because stretching page edges will hardly distort the image. How big the box is doesn't matter as long as the images have the same scale as the side it is applied to. That said, creating individual books is nice but you will get pretty large models because of the multiple images. If you intend to place multiple books on a shelf you are much better of with creating an image of a row of books where the space above the shorter books is transparent. Then you can apply that image to a box with the front the size of the image. once place on a shelf you will hardly notice the missing tops of the books. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
