How to prevent the projected texture appears on the both side of the object? Thanks : )

[deshk]

as the title, I have encounter a problem, which the projected texture appears on the both side of the object, while I just want it on the only 1 side of the object.

How to set the projected texture to only appear on the one side of the object?

Thanks so much : )

convert 做 solid texture, 然後執走背面 d 字

Thanks

I tried to use Edit>convert to texture (Maya Software)
I have made a 2048X2048. Because the object that I'm trying to texture, it is quite a large object.

if I want to keep the label to be very high res on the object, so if the camera zooms very close to it, the label doesn't end up to be very blur. So what should I do?

Actually, I was trying to use layered texture to separate the background and the labels. I have repeated texture (512px X 512px) to create the background color for the object, and I used projected texture to put the the labels. Is it the right way to do it?

Once again, thanks so much.

不如用塊 plan, attach or 沿住個 sphere 面 build 出黎, 個 size 就剛剛 fit 你d 字都得姐

然後用 transparency map 偷走唔要既位, 仲有 off 埋 cast shadow

系喎 咁會易好多 Thanks so much : )

There's another way if you don't want to convert your textures. Convert texture is good but if you will have to do that everytime you adjust your texture. There's a flag called "flippedNormal" with the samplerInfo, you can use that with a blendColors to get different textures on different faces.

Thanks a lot, I will try that : )
Btw, I'm a beginner in custom shading network : )
so it takes some time for me to understand : )
Currently, self learning from books and online tutorial.
Lecturer didn't teach much back in Uni. : p

我其實有個 post 系關於我咁多年來答過既 technical 問題, 你可以去睇睇

有一篇叫 雙面材質, 你可以去睇睇 flipped normal 既用法

Thanks so much : )
It will help a lot.

啱啱再睇多次你個問題..... 你個系完整 sphere 麻? 咁全個 sphere 面既 normal 都系向外, 系唔可以用 雙面材質既做法.

anyway, 入面好多野都值得學架

Thanks so much! : )

Btw, my final actual object is not a sphere. However, it is good to learn as much as I can from the tutorials to improve myself : )
Now reading Maya manual as well as books, try to understand the foundation, and how things work in Maya. Especially in texturing, shading and lighting. : )

And once again, thanks for the tutorial links : )
Btw, the commercial product lighting tutorial is really helpful. And I tried to use the technique in real life photography too : p
