Thanks Tig,

I think I see where I was making a mistake, I could not find the trimmed files. I expected them to appear where the original image was. When I expanded the view, I saw them sitting off to the side.

However, now I'm having trouble getting this onto the face of the object so that I can push/pull. I did redo this one more time and requested that the component he stood up. That worked well but then could not accurately get it onto the face. Any tips for doing this?

Thanks again

Thanks Tig,

Yes I do have a folder of trimmed images

I just tried it with a cropped version and still the same result. Am I doing something wrong in the procedure?

Select surface on model to apply to
import png as image
with image selected, run image trimmer
once it stops running, I explode image

after image trimmer runs

Seem to be having trouble again getting image trimmer to work.

I've tried this with multiple png files and have also flattened a few of them and removed the background saving them as transparent pngs.

The files were saved prior to importing the image.

Java has been installed and is set to open Jar files

When the image is imported and selected, Image Trimmer runs, but when it stops, nothing appears to have happened. If I explode the image, it completely disappears. There is an image saved in the Image Trimmer folder but it is the same image.

I've tried this many times with different versions of the file. Want to eventually push/pull to get an engraved effect. Any help would be appreciated. I may be missing something but I don't know what it is. Thanks

I've attached some of the image files I attempted to use

Ah, makes sense. I'll take a look. Did you use ThruPaint?

Thanks, I finally got a chance to check out the model. I did take your advice with changing the setting for units and type.

The two bands on the side were because I was in the midst of working with vray and I had the safe frame turned on. I neglected to turn it off before sending you the model.

I did get round corner to work, but I see that I'm having problems that you did not have in that the edge material is getting picked up and probably reverting to the 90 degree rotation it had before I adjusted it. I tried getting down to 1/64 offset thinking I could avoid it, but it's still showing. I'm wondering what offset you did use and if you possibly repainted after rounding? Though I don't think that would make the difference.

Thanks again

My attempt
