Hi _rob,
I did use screenshots from orthographic
cameras aligned to the size of the texturesupports.
(I created a square grid,a axis projection, then later
connected the actual geometry to the respective axis
and it's support).
The advantage is everything lined up pretty o.k.
(at least in proportion), allowing multiple screenshots,
textured, shaded, with shadow, wireframe on shaded to
align things over the planar projected UV's\textureimage.
Added a constant|AO pass ontop for eaqch axis and called
it a wrap by combining OGLshaded with shadow multed with
the AO and everything overlayed with the (greybasemat)
shaded with shadow screenshot.
Gave a nice consolegame look,gently hidding most of the
otherwise unacceptable jaggies and seams I couldn't fix
in time. It looked good enough for a two, three days demo
of what can be brought over to *.x3d in a reasonable time
to plan a set or angles. the guys at university liked it.
That done, I'm glad to have the screenshots now for getting
more inspiration and colorvariances in my final, cleanly
set up and unwrapped objects\textures. Yes, will redo it...
Thanks again for lending a hand and sharing ideas,
Cheers
tim
P.S. I\m writing this on a MAC laptop, ouch...
