Another texture mapping question.

[Anonymous]

I'm using AC 9 on a Mac OS6 and trying to map a texture from a LightWorks transparency shader onto a simple parametric block.

MATERIAL "cstmEtchdGlss"


BLOCK 24", 36", .125"

Although the shaders are called "wrapped image" or "wrapped mask" I only want the image on one suffice which for whatever reason is what appears to happen naturally.

The problem is that I want the image to be somewhat anamorphic and can't get the image to start or stop where I want it too.

I've searched through forum all the other info I could about the teve, coor and pgon and have been playing around with the examples in the GDL Technical Standards but cannot seem to grasp what is going on.

I was also curious if there is a way to automatically get the dimensions of an image called into a script and how does one embed images into a script? I tried using the xml converter but I am apparently missing something. I was under the impression that you could create objects out of images somehow.

Thanks

No one?

Can anyone at least confirm wether or not you can manipulate a "texture" imported through LightWorks in this fashion? I've tried the stLaytout to no avail too. Any ideas at all?

The image/texture is being imported with a material definition here:

LWA_transparency = "LWA_TRwmask",
					LWA_TRwmask_file               = "CTP132AInverted.tif",
					LWA_TRwmask_image          =  "CTP132AInverted.tif",
					LWA_TRwmask_softness       = 1.00,
					LWA_TRwmask_scale            = 1.0,
					LWA_TRwmask_aspratio       =  0.663109048723898

Anyone... anyone... ?

I just want to fit an "anamorphic" image/texture to a simple panel that only shows up in a LightWorks render using either the LWA_TRmask or LWA_TRimage.

DEFINE MATERIAL "cstmEtchdGlss" ...
... ADDITIONAL DATA...
LWA_transparency = "LWA_TRwmask",
					LWA_TRwmask_file               = "CTP132AInverted.tif",
					LWA_TRwmask_image          = "CTP132AInverted.tif",
					LWA_TRwmask_softness       = 1,
					LWA_TRwmask_scale            =  1,
					LWA_TRwmask_aspratio       = 1.021551724137931

!LWA_transparency  = "LWA_TRwimage",
!					LWA_TRwimage_file                  =  "CTP132AInverted.tif",
!					LWA_TRwimage_image             =   "CTP132AInverted.tif",
!					LWA_TRwimage_scale               =   1,
!					LWA_TRwimage_aspratio          =   1.021551724137931,
!					LWA_TRwimage_softness          =   1.00

Thanks
