how to apply a photo to an object?????

[Anonymous]

I am trying to apply some photos to objects in my interior scene but when i do my object size scales up by 500%. I have a rug texture that I would like to add to a slab that is being used for a rug. Then i have a plasma tv and i want to add a pic from a festival so it can give the perception that the TV is broadcasting the festival. Can someone help me on this. PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ:)

Question 1: Applying a picture to an object

The easiest way to apply an image to an object is to make it a material surface, matching the size of the texture map to the size of the object face - use ArchiCAD's internal engine material dialog to do this for dimensional simplicity - then match the material in LightWorks. It will flip, however, (bug) so in the Texture Space Class, ST Layout Shader, do a T reflect in the parameter. Uncheck "Show Essential" to reveal this parameter.

If the image is not aligned, use the Align 3D Texture Command to place the lower left corner of your material repeat interval at the lower left corner of your object.

Question 2: Plasma TV

The answer is complex, taking almost two pages of my "LightWorks in ArchiCAD" book. It is easy enough to put a picture on the front of the television object, but to make it appear to glow and shine light into the room involves an assembly.

Use the Carpet object, specify your texture.

Dwight had mention about it in this forum.. Is it okay to post it again?
