Hi

I'll try that, What I was hoping for was to be able to apply the texture to the box and then size the box until it looks correct and have the image texture scale with it the same way it does on a figure or flat panel.

The texture for the box has a specific size but I only need to have it look right proportion wise.

I can do that by eye, it doesn't have to measure out to be exactly the same size as the art or the real box.

Though I suppose I could create a 3D ruler.

Once it was made it could be sized to the scale you want to work you could just rotate the box until it was next to the ruler and make the size of each side mesure correctly.

That would let you scale the box so the sides were all the exact proportions.

I never thought about whether you can create a box of a specific size in Poser the way you would in Indesign or something like that.

I have to admit that I've used Poser for years, but I kind of do what I do, and don't get into the details until I have to do something that requires it.

My wife has made Stoneware Jewelry, and pottery for 50 years.

She has had pieces on display in he Detroit Institute of Art and many shops across the country.

I'd like to be able to make a 3D model of some pieces so that I could make a video of the piece rotating that she could email to people or use on a web page, instead of just a photo.  

Some of the pieces are rectangular or circular so the same process that makes the box could be used to do that using photos of the work.

I have made some pieces that my character Lucy wears in my Lucy Talks videos.

But they only have to have the texture applied to the face of a box that I size and place on the character. 

It doesn't matter what the sides or back look like.

Anyone know of a way to apply a texture to a sphere?  Then I could make a model of some of her hand made beads.  I always wondered if I could make 3D models of the Planets.
