Transparent layered texture
1 Attachment(s)
Ok, I have a yellow ball, with a bright yellow blinn shader. I want to add "DrKnow" to the ball, but I want to use an image. How can I put the image on the ball without having a white square behind the text???
|
i know how to make the background transparent, but does maya allow transparent gifs as textures???
|
save as targa (.tga)
it saves the transparency,too |
ok, but how do i go about putting it on the ball
|
probably just make a texture for the ball with Dr. Know on it. Seems like the most straight forward way.

Yes, that is a good Idea, but if i just make a yellow background and put it on a blinn shader, will I still have the blinn effect??? Here is the ball btw.

On A|W site, there is a tutorial for "Putting a Lable on a Bottle"
That's the tut for this situation:) |
ok, thanks rage. Ill go chack it out
|
Look in the online maya docs
There is an even easier place to find a tutorial for this, in the online documentation of Maya:
Help -> Tutorials Instant Maya->Tutorials->Rendering->Lesson 2 Shading surfaces It has a tutorial that takes a sphere and textures it to look like an orange with the text written on it, and then goes on showing you how to adjust the bump map, spec map, etc. |
Thanks man, that helps a lot
