Applying Materials/Colors To Projected Image
-
I want to learn how to apply colors/materials to various portions of the attached SketchUp file.
1 - The subject photo was projected onto the end wall of the living room.
The side walls are not part of the living room that is to be remodeled.
The face and sides of the existing brick fireplace will be covered with wallboard and
painted to match the side walls of the living room.
First I would like to use the eye dropper (if appropriate) to obtain the color of the right side
wall and apply to it to the front face of selected portions of the fireplace. I
I want to cover over the existing stone mantle with that side wall color as well.
I also want to apply a wood grained material to the newly modeled mantle on the
the fireplace. That item is the long narrow rectangle whose boundaries project
past each side of the fireplace.
2 - I have no problem applying materials/colors to a SketchUp model, but I can't find
any help to apply colors to a projected image (photo) on a SketchUp model.
Thanks,
k e n (A SkecthUp newbie)

Maybe I'm not understanding what you want to do. Is this close?

You don't apply materials to an image (which is a texture itself). And the side wall textures are part the Match Photo image, they aren't a separate texture. What you might do is create a new material that looks like them and apply that to the faces in the model. In GIMP I have sampled, warped part of a Match Photo texture and applied that as a tiled texture in a model (don't tell anyone). But you might just start with a new wall material and adjust it to match the color and texture in the photo.
In your Match Photo scene, Use the Style window, and edit the style. Go to the "Modeling" tab (last blue one) and turn off the foreground photo under "Match Photo". That will show you the materials you've applied to the faces while in the Match Photo scene. If you want to project the photo onto the model faces, Dave has done that, I think.
