                        Back to Fry, adjusted the 'pea' material to a sort of bronze:

                            Biebel those look so damn cool, I could'nt resist trying one myself. I hope you do not mind but I thought your fruit nd veggies needed legs. I give you 'apples going places' (the mapping of the apple texture was challenging)

                            Oh, I have a new (probably old book for you) trick for perfect DOF using Podium overlays.

                              Don't do that to frogs, you raskal.. 😮 😄

                              The apple looks very real. for a moment I thought it was a photoshop job.
                              That apple skin can't be textured on the mesh using SU right ?

                                Yes it can, but it is a 'female dog' to get it lined up correctly. I have a tutorial someplace where I mapped the Earth using two axis planes, which is neccessary many times as importing a textured mesh into SU can also be impossible at times.

                                  I know the technique of using an auxiliary surface to pipet/bucket a projected texture.
                                  It is a different ballgame however on complexer organic forms.
                                  For that purpose I think a new functionality needs to enter the SU core: "wrap texture around object" instead of project it. The projected texture method works well on earth globes and apples....but try that on a rigged body part and you can't avoid those smudged out textures on tangential parts.

                                  If Google reads this (Do they ?): please provide us with new texturing tools 😄

                                    Thats my number 1 wish for SU7. c'mon lets organise a march on the SU campus with our demands.

                                      @Solo, I'll bring along my friends:

                                      They look quite persuasive 😄

                                      I did my best on re-texturing the arms as tree trunks using the 'projected' method.

                                        Biebel,

                                        Although truely not the most perfect, there is a wrapping feature in texturing in SU - have a look at here (all the way to the bottom):
                                        http://download.sketchup.com/OnlineDoc/gsu6_win/Content/D-Modification_Tools/ModTool-PositionTexture.htm

                                        TaffGogh has created a series of terrains with beautifully positioned images on top for instance.

                                        Gai...

                                          Thanks for that link Gaieus,
                                          Are you refering to that 'wrap around corners' method or to the 'projected' method at the bottom (which I used here)?

                                            Well, there is a wrapping around cylinder part, too but that's still for 2D curved surfaces (I mean they just curve around one axis).
                                            Certainly a sphere works very differently.

                                            Gai...
