How do I wrap an image all around a 3D object

[Marie Dyekjær]

Hi

I have created a mug in 3D, and now I want to wrap an image around it.

I go to the layers panel and double click on "layer 1 Extrusion Material" which opens a new window with a mesh. I place my image in the mesh, and it looks great on the mug at first glance.

But it only goes half way around the mug! On the back side the image is just repeated!

So, how do I make the image go all the way around the mug?

Thank you

Hi Marie

When you make a circular extrusion you can get that doubling that you describe.

It is easy to fix :

1. In the 3D panel - Select the extrusion material

2. In properties go to Diffuse material and click the small folder - then choose Edit UV properties

3. Change the tile V/Y value from 1 to 0.5

Click OK - job done

Of course the job wasn't really done until the cuppa was brewed
