      Can I draw basic shapes like rectangles and circles on curved surfaces? Basically I'm trying to create an effect like sticking a sticker on the side of a pole. (The sticker will have it's shape and that shape will stretch over the surface of the pole). Thanks a bunch for helping this 3 day old n00b

        The attached file will give you some ideas. Just click on the scene tabs at the top to walk through it. For more complicated wraparound designs you will need to use the " cookie cutter" to intersect the pole from more than one direction....alignment might be tricky
        For info on how to wrap an image around a cylinder, check out the Help files and training videos. Note...you can't wrap an image around anything more complicated than a regular cylinder/curved surface; if it tapers vertically, you've got problems.
