Hi guys,
attached is a picture of some books lined up on a bookcase. Can anyone help me on how I can get these on a bookshelf? I can probably model each book but i want to be able to just use this. Thanks

Hello,

map the books onto a normal solid modelled box.

With using a transparency map it should be alright.

greetings

Re: Books

Sounds simple enough but I can't seem to get a transparency map to work.


I've tried the tutorials and have been successful with all types of transparency mapping but nothing with an image yet. Can you help me any further fam_ark?

Re: Books

I think, transparency mapping will not bring a good solution. I got an idea and try this:

* picture frame and set the books texture
* draw a line at the top of the books
* cut the upper part of the plane
* extrude
* assign planar mapping from front side

It's a pity, that the texture isn't good quality.
