Learn how to place textures interactively within SketchUp. In this video, George imports a bitmap image and then applies it to an object, interactively adjusting it to one part of an object. George then takes resulting material and uses it to texture the entire object. Another bitmap is imported and applied to the object as a decal.
- [Narrator] When we bring images into SketchUp…to be used as textures,…we can let SketchUp automatically size the textures…or we can do it interactively.…Let's take a look at how to bring in a texture…and create a material interactively.…So here I have a simple box.…And as you can see there's no materials in the scene,…here is my materials window.…So instead of creating a material from scratch,…we can simply import an image…and create a material that way.…
so we have file, import.…And I can import an image.…So if I use this pull down here and I select JPEGs…you'll see we have a number of JPEGs in the scene.…One of these is called Knotty Pine.…I'm going to select this but then I want to go down here…and there's a couple of radio buttons here.…One is called use image as image, texture,…or matched photo.…
We want this to come in as a texture.…So make sure that this is checked on texture.…And import it.…And when I do, you can see that the image itself…has now attached to my cursor.…And all I have to do is left click…
