Importing JPG

[tonyd]

Hi again,

Another newbie question.

On some 3D programs I have encountered which has a feature in which you can import a JPG file and superimpose it on to your model.

I cannot seem to find this feature although I am certain 3D coat must have it.

Can you direct me to a tut or maybe a quick "how to" ?

Thanks again, a really great forum.

not sure if this is the correct answer, but there's a background image you can set here:

You can use photos for textures. Found a YouTube video on that:

Thanks for the information!

What I was looking for actually was using a drawing or photo to over lay on let's say a block.

Then be able to use the photo as a guide to sculpt the object. In ClayTools it is called import image. I then have access to JPG files to import.

The image is then burned into the object and I can go from there.

Been having great fun with 3DC, really excellent!

Nothing like that in here, not that I know of anyway. The best you can do is load it as a reference image as shown here:

Thank you very much, that was exactly what I wanted.
