Preventing white areas of label art from blowing out

Christopher Tyler Mar, 9th 2018 0 Comments
This rendering and texturing tutorial discusses the use of ‘rich white’ (akin to rich black used for printing blacks using all 4 cmyk components) to help prevent areas of label art from blowing out. This technique also allows for reflections to overlay the white areas. Additionally, the concept of gamma and how Design 3D handles this relative to imported art is discussed.

Bezier Conversion Example 4

Christopher Tyler Sep, 3rd 2017 0 Comments
In this tutorial we take a look at the geometry conversion pathway, taking UV mapping into account. The need to work with an object’s UV data is a deciding factor for why you may need to change a bezier-based object into a polygon one.

Creating a thin label for the outside of of a clear plastic bottle

Christopher Tyler Jun, 17th 2017 0 Comments
This tutorial creates a thin label that applies to the outside of a liquid bottle. It shows how to generate the label geometry using the bottle component as a starting point. It then walks through the process of using a boolean operation to ‘slice’ the label into the correct shape.
