I just posted a question about a pic I put up in the Vue gallery called Too Close to Home.  A sci fi star trek picture.  Another question I have is lettering.  I have letters on the ship (Uss Enterprise, etc).  I made the text with the Vue Text, but found I had to click on each letter and slowly adjust the Z position to get the letter to be at the same height as the hull of the ship.  and also to tilt the letters a bit to fit the contour of the hull.  There has to be an easier way.  How would you all suggest applying the letters so they conform to the hull?  Short of post work that is...I want to do it all in Vue.

(Vue Infinate that is)

I wrote a tutorial about applying stencilled textures on surfaces in Vue. Perhaps it will help.

yes! thank you! im printing it now !!

It's not guaranteed for complex models that your method of creating a template will work, though. More reliable is to run the model through UVMapper. Unfortunately the free version of this is no longer available, and UVMapper Pro costs $60.

Oh, that's good - Steve Cox has made it available again! He took it down for a while. That makes life a lot easier for newcomers.
