Image mapping on 3D objects.

These movies cover some techiques for importing background images and mapping them on 3D shapes.

Background images.

TouchCAD comes with support for background images, in scale, they follow the model when pan and zoom. This is a key feature when recreating existing objects on the screen and when doing reversed engineering.

The import dialog allows you to scale, rotate, skew and deform the picture, for example to flatten the perspective. The background image import features support very high resolution images.

A new dialog allows you to fine-tune the location of the background image in the main drawing window.

Image Balloon (7.2 Mb / 8 minutes). illustrates how to model a balloon shape based on a background image, how to apply the image on the finished 3D model, and how to unfold the image.
