Help! Unable to keep original 2D texture and color while creating a 3D layer

Hey there, I've only been using 3D functions for a couple of weeks, so please forgive my inexperience.

I am desperately trying to create a 3d-layer out of this original 2d layer, a vintage loudspeaker front

But all I get is this:

So I practically lost all the dots and the metal surface. I tried to fiddle around with the properties and controls: No way out - at least for me. Can anybody tell me what I am missing? Thanks

I wish I could help you,  but I really haven't had too much experience in 3d layers

What exactly did you do to get your result?

For me I opened the image you posted and

  1. 3D >> New 3D Extrusion from selected layer
  2. Rotated to get an Isometric view

Thank you Mike. Unfortunately, I can't show you the exact steps until next monday. But I got there by inflating. And using one of the preset shapes...

I wonder if while you were fiddling with properties and controls at some point you have turned off Texture visibility.

Hi

If starting from scratch, Mike's method to make an extrusion from the shape is the easiest and will automatically put the texture on the front material.

However, if you have already created your model, select the front face in the 3D panel and in properties click on the small folder next to Diffuse and then on Edit Texture (or New Texture if that is greyed).

This will open a psb document with your model surface represented on a flat layer. The wireframe that you see is the UV map. You can add your texture as a new layer in that document and transform/warp it into position. Save the psb document and your 3D view will update.

Thank you Mike. If only I knew where I went wrong. I've done everything from scratch and I don't have a clue.
