Photoshop :: How To Wrap Label Around Cylinder Using 3D Layer
Nov 1, 2013
I've figured out how to wrap a label around a cylinder using a 3D Photoshop layer but what I can't figure out is what ratio and size that label needs to be.
For example I have a cylinder and have loaded the texture from the Photoshop document into the Opacity section in the Properties tab but rather than it being in proportion with the cylinder it seems to stretch it. So have to edit the label document and squash the actual label, which I know is not the correct way of doing it.
I have a layer that I need to transform so it appears to be wrapping around a cylinder like a pop can.
Actually so it appears to be a logo on a baseball cap. I need to give the layer a slight curved effect with a touch of perspective distortion on the ends.
I've never worked with 3D effect before (not even in the earlier versions), until now when I finally need it. I've therefore searched the Internet and the Adobe Forums in order to get to know how to wrap a text/image around a glass bottle in Photoshop CS6. I've found several answers and tutorials, but none of them regards CS6 or they are simply too primitive, whereby the effect is too fake. But when I try follow the instructions in the explanations/tutorials I've found so far for earlier versions of Photoshop (especially regarding 3D effects), I can't find the right buttons, commands, etc. - I can't make it work. how to do wrap a text/image around a bottle/cylinder/object in Photoshop CS6?
explaining how to wrap a label around a cylinder. However when I try myself, I obtain an enormous 3D cylinder with my label glued on it and once I reduce the size of the cylinder to the desired size, my label is minuscule. Additionally, it takes me ages to rotate/scale the cylinder in the right way.
Why is the 3D cylinder provided by Photoshop so enormous ?
What is the best method or plugin in order to wrap a label (made in Xara designer pro) around a vitamin pot to that it has a 3d effect - example of effect trying to achieve is attached?
I tried using the mould tool but cannot get it looking realistic.
I want to wrap a label (just letters) on a transparent capsule which is populated, inside, with instance objects of particles. The label has been photoshopped so that the letters are opaque and the background transparent. Using a Composite Material, with the glass material the Base material, I imported the label and thought it would just show the letters of the label on the capsule. What shows up is the label with a grey background. I can make this transparent by dialing down the opacity, but there must be a better way.
In inventor 2013 I want to extrude a horizontal circle on surface of a bigger vertical hollow cylinder. but what i did it enters into cylinder, and i only want to extrude it on external surface.
I'm have a long span of conduits in this tunnel and need to label each of the conduits its 3-4 digit assignment in each viewport of each page. I made a center line to each of these conduits in the layer named that 3-4 digit code (ex, Centerline of ET23 is in layer ET23).
way to make a leader that will just tell me the layer of the object (centerline) I attach it to? Or any way to label the layer of an object?
I use the same label style for multiple objects (surfaces) with different layers (i.e. Concrete, Pavement, etc.) I have the label style set to Layer 0, to take on the layer properties I want the label on. When I insert a label, it defaults to Layer 0, then I have to change it's layer. Is there a way to insert a label on the current layer?
I'm working in 2011. Just labeling some contours in a new drawing, using the 'Multiple' setting. I found I could only draw one tangent of Contour Label Line. If I continued, I could click but no labels were created and on finishing the command I could see that those clicks had been ignored. What gives?
I found that the labels were on the current layer, instead of the layer they're meant to use.I also realised that my current layer was locked (from the previous task).
if the current layer is locked, the contour labels ignore the layer setting that they are meant to use, and come in on the current layer instead. And you can only draw one tangent's worth of contour labels at a time before finishing the command and restarting.
Solution: make a different layer current or unlock your layer.
are contour labels generally created on the current layer and then moved to their proper layer?Is that why it hit a snag: it wasn't permitted to move the object to a different layer because the one it was on was locked?
I am having problems plotting out parcels and creating label settings. I think I am missing an important concept in the object and display tab of setting creation. I am not finding going through the documentation. What I have found is not well explained.
I started with the OOB alignment settings. I noted that the Basic setting has a description that states the object will take on the settings of the layer it is created on.
I noted that if I adjusted the alignment properities to "Basic". I could then move the 'roadway' alignments to P-RD-CL and the swale alignments to P-SWALE-CL. Freezing the P-SWALE-CL then turns off the swale CL's, but keeps the roadway ones on.
I am looking for a fast way to determine which styles this works for or the area of the documentation that better explains how this works.
I am starting to explore creating label styles the same way. That way I can double or triple label pipe networks such that identical styles are labeled on an E&S layer and a PCSM layer and the individual lables can be dragged on the two different sheet layouts in the same file to avoid text over writes.
I am using Description Keys for all my points that I bring in from surveying in the field. Any point that does not have a specific descriptor key ends up on a specific layer with a specific style that I cannot figure where to set. I have gone through my point default settings as stated in other postings but all seem to be set correctly mostly to <none>. I have gone through my Point Group settings without finding the culprit either. I can easily change the settings as I only have a few points that do this but I want to find the issue.
Ultimately I want to delete a bunch of Layers by selecting them using a portion of their name. Is there anything in cad that allows you to specifically select layers using only a portion of the layer name?
Based on AutoCAD Layer Standards: Users label layers with a code; for example: A-ANNO-TEXT
A - Stands for the Architectural Category the layer falls into
ANNO - Stands for Annotation
TEXT - Type of Annotation
I want to use the Layer Delete (-LAYDEL) command to delete all layers that begin with A-ANNO. In the Layer Manager (-LAYER) I am able to select specific layers using a " * " placed before and/or after " A-ANNO " to include all layers with that in its name.
When I write a script however (-LAYDEL); cad will ask me for the layer name, but will not allow me to use the *A-ANNO* to include all layers with that name: A-ANNO-TEXT, A-ANNO-GLAZ, A-ANNO-WALL, etc...
Is there anything in cad that allows you to specifically select layers using only a portion of the layer name??? I have to "taylor" drawings that I receive from companies who's layers may vary.
My script is in basic (NON LISP) language:
-LAYDEL N A-GENM N A-DOOR N A-DOOR-FRAM N A-DOOR-GLAZ N Y
how do you change their layer? i have been through the settings tab under "alignment", "station offset". i also right clicked on one and went through the properties.
The label associated to a grading point when is moved when is moved changes its size automatically and a leader appears. After this happen no control over the grading point and its associate label. refer to the image below.
C3D 2013. We have profile line labels, some of which get manually edited (for example, change the "<[Tangent grade(FP|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|SD|OF)]>" to a static number such as 0.29%).
However, if you CTRL+Click and select one of these labels and change the style of that one label, then the manual edits are lost and the label reverts back to the default string.
I'm trying to label my Profile label stations as raw stations, 20~20 meters, and I'm not being able to adapt the format to STATION 0, STATION 2, without any plus zeros or +, or -, or commas, or anything, as following in the image.
I wanted to make it look like it is on a can or something similar, how would I correctly warp it? I can't get accurate enough results using displace or liquify, is there any way that involves tracing the actual curve of the can image?
Is it possible to pin a label to another label ? Or pin a label to an object so that when the first label (or object) is moved, the other moves with it ?
I'm working on some packaging and product manuals for a product that is a cylindrical tube (say like an awareness bracelet). The final product is supposed to have some branding silkscreened onto it, wrapped around the tube. I have a spec sample of the item that I will be using for product photos but it doesn't have the branding that I'm going to print on it. I'm going to have to map the artwork that will be printed on the final product onto the photos that will be taken.
I'm trying to figure out a way that I can take the branding and map it onto photos of the product in photoshop in proper perspective (so that it looks realistic)
I've already searched the web and didn't find any good solutions. (Most of what I found was tutorials on wrapping labels on a soda can. This could be good if I could quickly and precisely position a 3D object in photoshop directly over my photo and then map my artwork onto that shape, making sure that the 3d geometry is invisible while the artwork that I map on remains visible, but my experimenting did no yield good results. I also tried using Illustrator's 3d tools but I found that when rotating 3D shapes, they don't rotate in perspective [you cant get shapes to appear as if they are in 3 point perspective] and so I would not be able to properly overlay an illustrator 3d shape over an image.)
I'm sure this had to be done before and I'm sure there's a simple straightforward way to do this.
i need to put some perspective into my text, but i have no idea how to do it. the image i have is a wall from an angle. i need to know how to make the text look like it is on the face of the wall. any ideas?
if there are not to clear, post a reply and i will try to scan the image with what i want drawn on it and then upload it here.
I am trying to make a mock up advertisement for my car. I want to show people what they're companies logo would look like as a vinyl wrap on my car. I have Cut out the painted body of my car with the lasso tool and wouldand have a graphics image and would like to get an exact cut out of the image to fit on my car. I still want the refelctions to show through so it looks glossy instead of matte. I was assuming if I lowered the opacity it would allow for the reflections to go through but then the red of the car shines through and I was having trouble recoloring the car black to match the graphics. Is there anyway to just add shine to the image I wanna use as the wrap?
The attached is a jpeg of an InDesign file. I have the image of the guy that has text wrap around him and would like fake that in Photoshop. Is that possible?
