Templates in AM
7 messages in this thread
I havfe tried to add a template in sculpture, but the picture looked a little
bit "rotated". Are there resolution-limits for the pictures, or is this a bug
in AM?
I have tried different pictures and image-formats (PCX, BMP and TGA) with
different color-resolutions (B/W, greyscale, 256 colours and true-color), but
the result is always the same.
Waiting for a kind answer …

From my experience and talks with Hash, you should create template images that
are divisible by 4 ( both horizontally and vertically). Otherwise, I don't
think there's any other restrictions.

Many thanks, i try to create images with this resolution(s). I will mail my
results in this forum …

PMJI,
Could you please explain templates a little more? What form must they be in to
be imported. I am working on a Mac BTW.

Hi Elsby,
Welcome to Hash Land <G>! Even though A:M claims Pict and PCX, Targas work
best. I have been successful using 8-bit picts and PCXs, but was told that
targas are faster and they work in 24-bit, so targa it is!

Thank you for the welcome, Jim.
Hmmm. I've spent some time this evening trying just about every file type I
could think for a template but no luck. I'm sure I tried targa too! Anything
else I should know about them, size, dimensions, etc.? Oh well back to the
coalface!

Elsby,
I know that I have used 5-bit pcxs as templates successfully. OH YEAH!
Remember this program is designed to be a cross-platform app, so do not use
SPACES or any character other than a letter or a number in the files AND folder
names. This tripped me up several times until I figured that out (although it
is in the manual, it just blew past me at first <G>).
I'll try templates again today and let you know if there is any other trick.
Jim
