Hey John,
Thanks for your suggestions. I did exactly what you suggested, but (of course)
it doesn't work. For on the thing, the front of the stereo is too big to get a
detailed rendering of the labels, so I've had to render to seperate images
(half of the front in each) to get the detail.
For some reason, if I have the Alpha on, the bitmap doesn't show up. So I've
clicked IGNORE ALPHA. Now I'm having to position each map precisely. Also, I
haven't found the proper rendering size to get the detail I want, but all keep
the integraty (sp?) of the spacing between each label. I'm sure I'll get it,
but it's gonna take a lot of fiddling.
Now, there's a good chance I'm missing something here – but I'm not sure what.
I tried your suggestion first off and it was a complete failure. I may go back
and give it another go (one thing I can think of it that I'm using a copy .3ds
file of the stereo, except it doesn't have the labels – maybe I'll go back and
use the original file with the labels, as you suggest, and just hide them).
Thanks for the advice! James
