screen capture odd shape

[stager386]

When I do a screen capture of a rug that is 8x10, it's an easy way to add it to my library.  Now I want to capture a rug that is round. How do I do that, since the capture tool is all straight lines?

You would need to make it a png and delete the white background in an external editor. It would not be tileable. Can you paste it here?

It's 8' round.  I have 7 round rugs close to the same size in different colors and patterns, so if you tell me how you do this, that would be great! Thank you!

A quick way to do this is with the Poly-line solid method.

 

It won't be perfect since each texture gets layered over the next... and you may see an 1/8th inch thick build-up. But it's good enough to fake in a 3d camera view. 

 

Attached is a 3ds symbol which should get you going! BTW... this was done really quickly. In case you want something to match more closely, I can resend.

Thank you!

My pleasure. 

 

Here's the plan so you can see how it works.  Hopefully you're using X-12.

VHampton, you can always use the polyline subtraction tool in your active toolbar so you aren't stacking. No lip that way...just an FYI

 

[VHampton]

That's correct... and part of why it only took about  a minute to "stack" everything. Anyway ...Just opened X-11. Takes 2 minutes to re-do, and using your suggestion.  The right way. 

 

...BTW very impressive renders on your site. Are all of them done using Chief? or is there a hint of Lumion as part of the rendering process?

X-11...

 

This was again made using poly line solids... But with a cut-out for each piece, so that the rug reads as one. 

 

The 8 foot section was created first. Then it gets a poly line solid "hole" for the middle section.

The middle section gets slid into position... and likewise, it gets a cut-out for the center.

The center section goes into place... and voila.  (3) pieces all at the same height. No shadows lines.
