JPG image applied to a Fasuma door displays improperly

[Hubert Wagner]

Hello:

The JPG is 400 pixels wide by 800. The door is 90 cm wide by 180.
AC texture is set as follows:
Width = 90, Height = 180
Sample frequency is 1 x 1
However, the image is displayed 4 x 4 although only part of each image is shown.

How do I display a 1 x 1 image scaled to the door size?

Thanks: Douglas Wagner

I've created a wall 90 x 180 cm, same as the Fasuma door. The image displays correctly. (The original image is 90 x 180 pixels. I don't know if this coincident sizing is significant).

It very much is. Use the pixels as your working units - like you did in mapping - and the map will come in at exact size.

Hello Djordje:

Thanks for your response.

The fusuma door measures 92 x 180. The paper area, the part to be imaged, measures 86 x 174, i.e the door, less the 4 cm frame plus a 1 cm overlap all round. ("material" is set in the sub-routine which draws the paper part of the door).

The JPG is 86 x 174, and I've set the image size in the materials dialog to the same dimensions.

I've set the origin to the top-left and the bottom-right corner of the door by clicking on the edge of the paper area and on the 3D handle. And I've set the origin Z = +30 cm. Little effect.

AC still displays the image 4 x 4. However, after resetting the image size more precisely, the origin has shifted a few cm to the left. Please see the attached image.

What are we missing here?

if you want to code it into the object this is what i would do:

use the 'picture' gdl command in the 3d script to create the paper panels

if you do this you don't have to worry about pixels n stuff

the gdl 'picture' will centre the image and resize the image to the size of the panel

eg

Picture Fasuma,width,height,4

hope that makes sense
