How do I wrap an image or texture around a cylinder please?

I am working on a project for uni, and am a complete beginner in Illustrator (and Photoshop for that matter).  I have CS5, and want to wrap texture or an image (or an image of texture) around a cylinder.  Can anyone please tell me how?
Many thanks in advance.

1. Place your image in an Illustrator document
2. Drag it to the symbols panel and give it a name when the option window appears and click OK It does not matter whether you choose Movie or Graphic symbol.
3. Draw a Circle ellipse using the elipse tool
4. Go to Effects>3D. Extrude and bevel
5.turn on Preview the the extrude dialog window
6.Make you adjusts to the depth of the extrude.
7. Click on the Map art button
8. in the map art window select the face of the cylinder you want to map the art to
9. Select the texture symbol you made form the image from the drop symbol menu
10. adjust the position and click Ok.

  • How to wrap an image around a rectangular box?

    How do I wrap an image such as this: around the outside of a rectangular box such as this: in photoshop (creative cloud). Step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Even with the vanishing point tool you're still going to have to do quite a bit of artistry to deal with masking and shading to make it look even remotely like a box.  Not to mention the rounded corners and incuts.  There's no automated way of doing this, it's purely transforming, cutting, pasting, and shading layers; good ole standard photoshop.  I'd think it'd almost be easier to design a box as a 3D model and apply that texture to it.

  • Capturing a raster image's texture to be saved in Illustrator swatches

    Does anyone know how to capture a raster
    image's texture and save it into Illustrator swatches?
    Thanks

    where is the image coming from?
    in illustrator you can drag any embedded image into the swatch palette to create a texture. you won't be able to do just a portion of an image. if you just want a sample of an image you need to copy it onto an image editing program, copy the area you want, past it back in illustrator and then drag that to you palette.

  • CS5 - Wrap label around a cylinder (like wine label or pop can)

    [This is not a Windows-specific question, I hate to exclude Mac users from this answer, but there is no platform-neutral forum here]
    In Photoshop CS3 and earlier, taking a layer, such as a label for a wine bottle or jar, wrapping it around a 3D cylinder and compositing it to an image (of the actual jar or bottle) was almost trivially easy.
    Unfortunately, with the advanced 3D tools available in CS4+, the simplicity of the Wrap > Cylinder option seems to have been lost.
    Wrapping a complex texture around a cylinder (full coverage, top to bottom) is possible, but how about wrapping a label (especially one that has a die-cut ie: not full coverage)?
    A couple of quick searches have surprisingly turned up no tutorials on the subject. Has what was once such a simple technique become so technical and obscure?
    Can someone point me to a tutorial (written or video), or provide a list of steps here on this forum?
    Thanks!

    Are you saying the work on Refine Edge which is new in CS5 needs re-re-architecting? ;-)
    Heh, I sure am. Not that it isn't on its way. The Refine Edge in CS4 showed us where Photoshop was heading in terms of broadening its selection maniuplation toolset (ah, I remember the days of alpha channels + blur + levels + maximize / minimize). But we saw the (almost) disappearance of Extract Filter. Then its most powerful algorithm reappered in Refine Edge in CS5 and it was a Good Thing. Decontaminate Color alone is worth its weight in gold - that's a nifty little algorithm that saves us all time with the paintbrush manually un-pre-multiplying sub-pixel content.
    But it still needs work - notably, it is one of the few tools yet that still feel "outside" the standard application workflow. It's its own dialog box (not a palette) and it's a one-shot, destructive effect. I appreciate that you can output to a separate layer, AND make your settings default. It still feels like it's stuck in a pre Smart Filters era.
    Please note that I'm not complaining here, just pointing out that it can still get better, and mask manipulations (from my perspective, and that's only one, as the Photoshop userbase is one of the most diverse out there) are core functionality, whereas 3D is arguably not. Or let me put it this way: lots of apps do 3D, and most of them do it better than PS. But no other apps do selections better than PS and that's a fact. Play to your strengths is all I'm saying.
    I'm interested in this combination above. You don't feel the additional 3D features in Ps is a good fit, and yet you're being proactive to address demand from students. What are their specific use cases, if any? Do they resist your guidance to try other shoes if the ones Ps provides don't fit? What points do your students raise for why they want/need to use Ps for 3D instead of developing a tool kit that includes full 3D modeling applications?
    You're right, my comment warrants clarification. The demand from students is not for 3D functionality per se. The demand for students is that you teach them the latest and the greatest (regardless of what industry actually expects out of a graduate's skillset), because they saw it on Adobe TV, or they read about it in some product review. I spend 24 hours of class time on colour correction (and that's scratching the surface), but about 5 minutes on Content Aware Fill. And I wouldn't even touch it if it weren't for the inevitable savvy student that pipes up in class when I talk about the Clone Tool and says "but isn't that replaced by Content Aware Fill?". So you have to touch on it.
    One of the strange new realities of teaching Photoshop post PS5.5 is telling students "just because it's in the menu doesn't mean you should use it." This was first true with things like magnetic lasso, or art history brush, or the spot healing brush tool (though very specific cases can be made for each of them - I'm aware of that) and the tradition now continues on with Content Aware Fill / Scale, Mini-Bridge (though I'm sure this is just a personal opinion, and a good case can be made for it in your workflow on a very fast computer), and IMO, 3D.
    So I don't necessarily see a contradiction. Students who are fairly new to the industry are hungry for the "cool factor" (not to mention the "easy way out"), and it's a constant balancing act designing curriculum that emphasizes best practices, while still covering all the bells and whistles (with the appropriate cautionary tales). If I were still teaching Advanced Photoshop to PS pros and they were clamoring for more 3D, that would be a whole other story. I'll admit that I may be out of the loop there, though, which is why I am still eager to hear from you who you think the target demographic that wants true 3D in Photoshop is.
    When I was teaching to pros, they were mostly pro Photographers (think Yuri Dojc) or Architects. I can certainly see the latter being curious about 3D in Photoshop, but those that are technical enough are now all versed in the Autodesk suite, so they would be doing texture generation and compositing in PS at most. Photographers are much less likely to be even remotely interested in 3D within Photoshop, but that's probably not the audience you were building it in for anyway.
    Do you feel your advanced experience with SoftImage, 3DS, Maya is helpful to understand Ps's 3D features or does it get in the way? IOW, what benefits and hindrances do you note when trying to apply previous learning to the Ps 3D feature set? Or is it hard to answer at this point because you've been blocked due to crashing and performance issues?
    Without a shadow of a doubt, my background was essential to being able to pick this up in PS without the manual. I think I would feel completely lost if I didn't have 10+ years of 3D modeling, texturing and animation behind me (note that I don't consider myself a pro in 3D - just an experienced amateur). Possibly even WITH the manual.
    3D is a wonderful world full of really cool technical details that merge the artistic with physics. Photoshop has bitten off only one branch of that, namely shaders, but that is in itself a vast subject. The amount of background knowledge you need to have under your belt is vast - what's the difference between diffuse and ambient colour? what's a specular highlight, and how do you control glossiness? what's a "normal"? hell - what's a "lightsource", and what are their different modes?
    I just covered the basics of 3D using repousse and height mapping the other day in a class of twenty-odd 20-30 year olds: I spent 2.5 hours with the students (we had a lot of fun mind you) and didn't even get to texturing at all. Not a single mention of maps, colour or anything. There's too much other material to cover - navigation, object-level vs mesh-level manipulations (ask me my opinion on the usability of your implementation of that feature some time, you'll have another page to read!), then TSR, then lightsources, camera views, ground planes, raytracing, merge 3D layers (you'll have to explain the logic behind having separate 3D "scenes" co-existing within the same document some time).
    Bottom line: adding 3D to Photoshop seems like you've put a tiny little door in the bottom of the vast, vast world of Photoimaging. When you open that door and look through you discover that there's this other huge huge world of 3D modeling just on the other side. In order to make ANY use of the 3D features, such as they are now (as opposed to the previous incarnations - including Vanishing Point, which had some very interesting potential) you now have to jump into that world and start to get your bearings.
    I think the GPU is causing more headaches then the 4GB RAM, but that's only a quick assessment. Have you had much luck finding newer drivers?
    You are almost certainly right. I need to get back to Chris on another thread and let him know that my drivers WERE, in fact, embarassingly out of date. Updating them didn't solve all my problems, but a few have gone away thankfully. I have yet to push the limits of 3D on my personal box again, but will certainly circle back with you if I notice some improvement.
    Thanks Steve, always a pleasure talking about this stuff. I am about as passionnate a guy about Photoshop as you'll meet, but because I spend 90% of my time in industry using Photoshop as a production and creative tool (I only teach 1 day a week these days), you'll probably find I'm quite conservative. Heck, much of our agency is still running the full CS3 - there just hasn't been enough compelling reasons to upgrade across the entire organization yet.

  • How do i take a image of a wine glass and wrap a image around it in indesign cs6

    How do i take and image of a wine glass and wrap another image around it!

    InDesign isn't the correct application for such a manipulation.
    If the "image of a wine glass" is a 2-dimensional image, you may be able to create the illusion of something wrapped around it in Photoshop, but there won't be any automatic solutions. Fundamentally, what you're proposing is a function of 3-D modeling.

  • How to wrap an image around a mug in Photoshop CS5?

    I have tried many things like transform -> warp or tried to play with 3D but nothing gave me an effect like this image. Does anyone know a good tutorial or would like to explain to me how to wrap an image around a mug and make it look realistic like this?

    For Photoshop Elements
    Step A
    Select the Type Tool, type in your text
    .. then look at the top of the
    page
    You will see an arc with a T over it
    Click on that and you will be
    able to curve the text
    Step B
    There are 3 items to consider in order for this project to come out
    satisfactorily.
    A. The picture of the coffee mug needs to be properly
    sized, and enhanced
    B. Directions for the text above
    C. The picture for application to the mug needs to be
    configured so that its curvature conforms. I shall give you directions, but the
    values may require adjustment for your particular picture:
    Duplicate background layer, and shut off visibility by clicking on its eye
    icon
    Increase canvas size Image>resize>canvas
    size. Uncheck relative. Enter new values for width & height. Try 120% (+/-).
    You need more "real estate" for the next steps. The checkerboard pattern denotes
    transparency, which you want all around.
    Rotate picture. Image>rotate>layer, 90
    degrees right
    Filter>distort>spherize. Set mode to vertical only. Amount 100%
    Filter>distort>shear. Click center of control line, grab this center
    handle, and pull just a little to left
    Rotate picture back. Image>rotate>layer>90 degrees left
    Copy to clipboard, paste on picture of mug. Position and adjust size with
    move tool.
    Edit: Resolution of picture of mug and of picture to be applied should be about
    the same number. You can check this in Image>resize>picture size before you embark on
    above.

  • How Do I Wrap Text Like the iOS Camera App?

    Hello. I am in yearbook, and I have been challenged with designing the cover of the yearbook, and I have been having a few problems along the way. One of these problems is to wrap text. Specifically, I'm stuck on how I would wrap text like the iOS camera app on the bottom of the screen. The words seem like they are wrap around a 3D object to give it that effect, but I can't really tell. If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

No iOS apps are use to work on images  they have no value when you have Photoshop. The iPod is better for displaying image then the iPad mini it has a 3:2 aspect ratio display and travels better the the mini iPad which has a 4:3 aspect ratio display.  I also crop image for display on wall mounted HDTV. The iPad is better for casual internet access then the iPod. All our kids have iPhones and they all use computers either Mac or PC for work and internet access.  When you have a Unix or Windows why would you want to touch an iOS device for work or serious internet access.  Apple mobile devices are convenient for casual use and grand kids don't get that dirty finger painting on them as they do using real paint. Nothing of real value is maintained on an iOS device.
    Well...there's Photoshop Touch and Photoshop Mix as well as Lightroom Mobile. It could be argued that they're don't exactly mirror their desktop cousins, yes, but they weren't meant to be. They were meant as extensions to the desktop experience.  (e.g., Lightroom Mobile lets one work with the RAW images they have in their Lightroom desktop collections.)
    The more powerful Windows tablets can run Photoshop desktop (like Photoshop CC) too.
    @bluebocat: Are you looking for text with a perspective? Like it has a vanishing point? As if it was turned in a certain direction in 3D space?

  • How do I change an image border color to another color - Dreamweaver CS5?

    Good day,
    I have just learned how to add a border to an image with Dreamweaver CS5 within the Properties Inspector.
    After typing the width in pixels in the Border Text Field and pressing the Enter key, Dreamweaver created a black border.
    How do I change the image border color to another color?

    I added your suggested rule to the Style Sheet "in any order" as you explained. See the image below.
    However this did not change the image border from black to light blue. In fact, nothing changed.
    Nothing changed because the CSS that has been written into DW is incorrectly written.
    You want the following (exactly as written below)
    img {border: 4px solid #0062C8;}
    You've inadvertently wrapped the rule inside a #main_image container rendering it meaningless.
    It's easiest to go into Code View and change
    #main_image {
         img {border: 4px solid #0062C8;
    to
    img { border: 4px solid #0062C8; }
    The Property Inspector added a border exactly as I wanted it, other than the color I wanted the border to be. What is the use of this function in Property Inspector if it can add a border within Property Inspector but not let me change the COLOR of the black border that Property Inspector added, to another color?
    That's a deceptively simple, yet valid, question with a long answer.
    Back in the dark old days of web design web designers were restricted to inline HTML formatting which offered  border properties but no colors.
    CSS styling offers colors and more but has to be written differently.
    These days. it's best to avoid HTML formatting. Unfortunately border="4px" in the PI still allows it. But does not permit color.
    Does anyone else out there ever add color borders to their IMAGES (not the containing box for the image) ?
    Yes, using CSS.

  • How do I wrap text around a picture in Pages 5.5?

    Using Yosemite, MacBook Pro (late 2009) Pages v. 5.5.  Previous version of Pages let me wrap text around pictures in newsletters.  I can't find this option or how-to anywhere in v. 5.5.  How do I wrap text around one side or another of an inserted picture?

    Assuming your text is in your document, and you insert a picture. While the picture is selected, you will notice that on the right format panel, the Arrange tab has appeared. Select either Stay on Page, or Move with Text — depending on your image goal — and then look at the Text Wrap feature. By default, once you drop a picture into the document, it is set to Automatic. This means you can place your pointer in the image and just move it around, while text flows around it. The smaller the image the better the flow effect. This is a discussion about Pages v5.2.2, but it will work the same in v5.5.
    Let's say you want the image flush aligned to the left margin, but want text to flow above, to the right, and below the image. Change text wrap automatic to Around, select the right icon for Text Fit, and adjust your spacing up or down for the proximity of the text wrap to the image. It looks like this with Text Fit spacing set to 9 pt.

  • Simple question: How to set a different image to each side of a 3D cube?

    Hi all,
    I'm very new in the use of Java 3D and I would like to know how to set, in a 3D cube, for each side a different image.
    Currently I've the code to set an image as texture of the cube, but it applies the same image to all the sides. However, I would like to use different images for each side.
    This is my code: http://pastebin.com/sexBx57K

    I think I worked it out.
    I just have to set the JAXP parser
    Q. How do I use a different JAXP compatible implementation?
    The JAXP 1.1 API allows applications to plug in different JAXP compatible implementations of parsers or XSLT processors. For example, when an application wants to create a new JAXP DocumentBuilderFactory instance, it calls the staic method DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(). This causes a search for the name of a concrete subclass of DocumentBuilderFactory using the following order:
    1. The value of a system property like javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory if it exists and is accessible.
    2. The contents of the file $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/jaxp.properties if it exists.
    3. The Jar Service Provider discovery mechanism specified in the Jar File Specification. A jar file can have a resource (i.e. an embedded file) such as META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory containing the name of the concrete class to instantiate.
    4. The fallback platform default implementation.

  • How do I bend an image?

    Hey all - I searched and searched. How do I bend an image? I want to give it a 3d feel. If you take a piece of paper and make it do a U shape on a table (Touching the left and right edge only). And look down on it I want that effect. That's the best way i could explain it! THANKS EVERYONE!

    easy stuff. two ways to do it.
    1. make a square box and put it on layer #1
    2. Make a square box and put it on layer #2
    3. on layer #1 select the box and drag into it the sphere filter (under distortion I think) You will see that just the box is affected by the filter. hard to wirk with but it will work for different stuff. play with the settings in the filter inspector.
    Now that you have seen the filter on an object within a layer try this:
    1. Untick the check mark in layer #1 (turn it off you you cant see it on the canvas)
    2. apply the same filter to the entire layer by draging it into the "layer" box in your project payne. Make sure it is applied to the layer not the object on the layer.
    3. play with the radius, etc in the filter tab of your inspector and see a far more usable effect. The same apllies for most other effects and filters by applying to entire layers not just objects.
    Also now that you have created a sphere type layer ... add some text to the layer and you will see that the text wraps the same way for a real cool effect.
    Feel free to email me or I chat if I can help with these types of effects.

  • Wrapping an Image with a Hyperlink Dynamically

    I am looking for some help on how to use Creator components, and maybe a little HTML.
    I have an image on my page that would like to use as a hyperlinked image sometimes and the rest of the time I would like it to just be a simple image. I have tried wrapping the image in a Hyperlink component and a Link Action component, but the only way that I've come up with to disable the links is to set the rendered property to false. However, when you do this Creator considers these two components as containers and also fails to render the wrapped image.
    I guess that I could use 2 simple Output Text components on either side of my image and write the HTML directly to accomplish this. This doesn't seem like a very clean solution, though. How else can I solve this? Does JSF offer a more elegant solution to my problem?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    In Creator 1 it is a bit of a jugglery act to have an image act as a hyperlink at times and just as an image at others. Here is what I would try, have two image components, one is inside the hyperlink and the other outside. Alternately set the rendered property to true / false to them according to the condition. Also I would have both of them in a group panel.
    Incidentally a component called Image hyperlink is available in Creator 2 EA 2. This has a disbaled property which makes it easier to do what you are looking for.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers

  • How do I use copyprofile, image manager and create a wim file to Sysprep a reference Windows 8 computer.

    Im trying to deploy a reference machine (configured) to other machines (exact or close image) with different hardware.
    I have successfully used sysprep in out of the box, generalise, shutdown mode although i havent tried to deploy this to another device.  Unfortunately it doesnt copy the profile to default.
    I understand that I have to create an answer file using image manager based on that image, save it to a usb drive and attach this in the sysprep command line when sysprepping it.
    My problem is I dont know how to easily capture an image of windows 8 into a wim file so that i can add this into image manager to create a answer file.  Im also not sure what I have to do in image manager, is it a simple matter of creating and saving
    the answer file or do i have to configure it to copy the profile specifically (theres only one account anyhow).
    I also want to know if i have to attach the drivers or are all the standard drivers put into the sysprep image as standard.  I would like the machine to be an exactly replica, same as doing a clone (but with the drivers for the new machine installed
    so it will boot) same as doing a clone and then repair? If thats possible.
    Any specific instructions on this would be helpful.  I have read the microsft links but they are somewhat confusing.

    I know this is a very late response but I thought I'd post for others who search.
    The easiest way to create the .wim file is via WinPE, this guy's two YouTube videos explain the entire process in detail -
