Image Mapping
5 messages in this thread
In Imagine, when going through the tutorial manual about image mapping – it
mentions resizing the Z & X axis of the "Edit Attributes" of the brush
being mapped by hitting "S" and selecting the axis to resize. I've tried
this, and all that gets resized is the bounding box. And when the actual
axis get resized, I can only resize both the Z & X axis at the same time
and can not resize only one axis.
Plus, how do you determine how much of your image will be encorporated in
the Z & X axis? Lets say I have a 640X400 24-bit IFF image that I'm mapping
to a surface, what size Z & X axis should I have to optimally map this
image to that surface? Or will it automatically figure this out for me?
Does Imagine automatically size the image to fit what ever size I resize my
axis to?

Joe,
I ran into the same sizing problem. It turns out that you have to set the
Local rather than the default World setting when resizing brush axis in
just one direction. Not logical, but it works.

I believe the LOCAL is selected by default, and the WORLD setting is greyed
out (ie: so you can not select that).
Joe,
No, when editing a brush, the World is defaulted. If you change a size in
one direction, you will see the axis change, but if you press the space bar
and then try to re-edit, you will see that the bounding box did not stay
changed. If you change it to Local first, then change the size in one
direction, it stays changed.
