Hi Lonestalker
You can hang pictures with your current Punch version.
There are two or three ways to insert a framed art work or picture:
- Import your picture with the frame using the Photoview (power tools)
- You import your picture --> Open photo view image file --> Photo view properties --> (say W= 2' / H= 3').
Then, Edit --> Set object elevation --> (say 60")
Select a frame from the objects tab: Objects --> Living room accessories
Open it with 3D workshop --> re size W= 2' / H= 3'--> close the workshop (Update changes?-->Yes)
Then, Edit --> Set object elevation --> (60")
Align both objects (photograph and frame in the plan)
So you will have the photograph and the frame with the same size and in the same position. Also, you can use the elevation editor to set the elevation
In addition, with you can import your picture as texture and apply the texture over a 2D shape (workshop)
Some samples illustrating the methods above
Check the signs of the stores in this image of a food court
http://www.punchhelpers.com/commercial2.html The green sign is a POB object developed with the 3D workshop
The remaining signs are Photoshop objects and I imported them as images with Photoview
The banners of the first store are POBs (Punch objects) and I used the image as texture (This is for AS 4000 V8 and V10, AS 3000 V10 and IDS)
The same image (different angle)
