how to add simple images ?

hello !

how can i add a simple image to an object ?

lets say i have a .jpg file (photo of a cat) and in my game i have a wall - and now i want to put that image on the wall (and perhaps change the size of the image a bit).

how can i do that ?

when i import the .jpg and simply put it on an object then it appears like materiel - the cat repeats 10x on the object …

thank you !

What you are describing can be done by using Decals. I have a basic tutorial on it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-1H6EGnOas

Hope it helps!

thx for your fast answer.

wow - first thing i did was bookmarking your youtube channel :smiley:

yea in a way that is exactly what i am looking for … but i cant get it to work …

if i follow your video then i get the same result … i see my image on the ground … i can scale that and so on … works fine …

but i cant figure out how i can put the image on a wall … i tried to rotate it by 90degrees but somehow that does not work

found this :

so that means i cant use a simple image in my project without this workaround ?

Hi!

Do it like this:

  1. Save your image to specific folder.

  2. Create folder within the “Materials” folder (e.g., “Materials/Custom”).

  3. Drag and drop the image into the new folder.

  4. Right click on the image. Choose “Create Material”.

  5. If an error occurs, set the image to the required format.
