Oval slab with jpg

Anonymous
Not applicable
I want to make a picture frame that is oval and able to put a jpg in it. I already made something that you can change the material but I can't align the material to fit the oval shape I chose. Is it that you can only align materials in things other than objects. Is there some code someone can share with me to accomplish this or is it too complicated.

THanks,
Michele

I did it. I made a material & sized the jpg correctly. I made a slab the same size as the jpg. I used open Gl to align the 3D trexture to the slab and made the slab an object. Then I chose the material after I inserted the object. It works wonderfully.

Try ArchiFacade's object creating function; you place a figure (image), draw a fill on top of it of the shape you like, select both, invoke the function, save the object ... done.
