Possible or not?

cuttingedge

My colleague asked me to apply the U.S. flag to this model.

I dont know what to say.

I mean apply it without remodeling the thing. Its not a question of whether its hard or easy, Is it practically possible or not ?

I dont think it can be done 100% without proper UV unwrap but this is me in 2 min using FredoTools.

UPDATE...I see now, it can be done..

Possible indeed ...and so easily too for you guys... Tried Fredo tools . Cant place it right. Rich's Flag was perfect...Did you use sketch UV?

I made it with Thru Paint also, but the texture was a bit jumpy ,especially at the top.
I am not sure rich made it in Sketchup.

hard work for me and far beyond 2 minutes
This one done with ThruPaint and no idea how to use the other
named tools ...

@ Rich - in the absence of a matching flag I have used your logo

SketchUV export UVs > Import to Blender > Edit mode > Select All > Unwrap

My wife as seen me watch topics with your logo around and it doesn't look good. I guess if I was looking at women pics she would be happier!

Thanks everyone, made my colleague happy.. Only Im having trouble keeping the texture on the backside. I used UV toolkit to project the texture to backside...But once I hit 'Cntl S'. it disappears!

For me, I did with both Fredo tools and Sketch UV. Cant make the map spread to the edges perfectly..

I guess We need a proper UV unwrap inside SU...
