Hey Alan,
Well, I said it was complex! <g> The stereo is made up of two basic sets – the
stereo front (with it's dips and sockets). Then it has a whole slew of buttons.
I decided the easiest method would be to map all the labels for the buttons
individually (thus I have some 35 differnt maps for the buttons, anything off
the stereo face)
Then there were the labels that go directly on the face, or rather, label. I
did create all the words as 2D fonts, and placed them in 3D space exactly where
they should be on the stereo. Then I hid the stereo and buttons, and rendered
just the 50 or so labels. That's as far as I've got, because I'm fighting
resolution vs splitting the label in half.
Anyway, I think I'm gonna get it – after no small amount of fiddling!
Thanks James
