<\/p>\nIf you have a company logo on a product, it\u2019s pretty common to need a logo as a material (like a chrome sticker) but not have the logo modeled in 3D. Modeling a logo can create extra work and slow the model down, but KeyShot provides a simple way to achieve the same result, much faster.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Download KeyShot .ksp<\/div>\n <\/p>\n In the original model, we offset a surface where our logo will be placed, approximately the size we need to logo to be. Once this is set up, we\u2019re ready to import into KeyShot. Here is the 3-step process for applying the logo and setting the texture.<\/p>\n First, apply the logo as a Color<\/em> texture to the offset surface created in the original part, making sure to scale it correctly, un-check Repeat<\/em>, and in this case change the projection to Planar Y<\/em>. This gives us the logo as a color on our chrome surface.<\/p>\n Next, add the same logo as a Bump<\/em> map. This will give our logo a raised appearance. Adjust the bump height to achieve the preferred look. (In this case, I\u2019ve dropped the Bump Height to .1.)<\/p>\n Lastly, add the logo as an Opacity<\/em> map. Since this is a PNG with transparency, I\u2019ve changed the Opacity Mode<\/em> to Alpha<\/em>, since an opacity texture normally uses black and white values (white = visible, black = invisible).<\/p>\n Now as you can see, our logo will have color, texture, and the shape cutout using only images! Using textures is a great way to reduce modeling time and improve your workflow in KeyShot.<\/p>\n Slightly blurring bump maps will provide better results for smooth, clean surfaces. In the image below, you can see a comparison using a blurred bump texture. It was also made as a grayscale image, with the gradients removed.<\/p>\n Download KeyShot and see how fast you can create amazing photographic visuals of your 3D data.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Download<\/a><\/p>\n Originally posted in the KeyShot Blog.<\/p>\n Find out more about KeyShot via our website:\u00a0http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/products\/products-keyshot<\/a> If you have a company logo on a product, it\u2019s pretty common to need a logo as a material (like a chrome sticker) but not have the logo modeled in… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1627,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[37,111],"class_list":["post-3050","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-keyshot","tag-hints-tips","tag-keyshot"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3050"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3050\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3053,"href":"https:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3050\/revisions\/3053"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"keyshot-textured-label-02-200\"](\"https:\/\/www.keyshot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/keyshot-textured-label-02-200.jpg\")
