Ihave nine image elements in my scene that I want to apply one of six textures to at random. I have two arrays created, one for the image assets and one for the image elements. How would I apply the selected textures to the elements?

Hello @yaustar

I have 9 different entity with 9 different texture. I choose one of the entity and apply that entity texture to my other 15 entities. Basically what is the way to change the entity texture from the canvas existing entities. I want to pic any of the entity from my 9 entities and apply there texture to other 15 entities on my canvas. Entities texture apply one by one.


Texture refers to the way an object feels to the touch or looks as it may feel if it were touched. Texture is one of the seven elements of art. Understanding it fully will lead to stronger drawings and paintings. .


I recently tried to attach a texture to a Plane I created in Element 3D The texture was downloaded as a PNG file, precomposed and designated to the texture 1 slot properly and when I applied the texture to the Plane as a diffused texture I get nothing. I have tried to designate other textures as well and got the same results. I hope i am explaining this correctly and can get some assistance or suggestions to resolve this. I really want to work with this texture in this project.


And nothing?

Is that what happens? But when you try to apply your texture in diffuse window (last picture bottom right corner) you can see your texture but you can't see it on your plane or you can't see it in settings either?


Ok. So maby try to import any jpg file (does not matter what) and try to use as a texture and check if it showes. If it works - that meat that Element can see custom textures but for some reason can't see that exact precomposed texture of yours. Then we will look for that reason.


I imported a JPG from file and used as texture and it showed up on the Plane Model But the Custom texture (Precomposed) did not show on the Plane Model. I even used a different jpg (precomposed as well) and it didn't show on Plane Model either.


Make sure that your precomp was made as I showed on first image (Move all atributes into the new composition) and make sure that you put effects inside that precomposition not on that precomp layer.

And if maby you could show us or tell what is going on inside that precomp.


We will try tu figure out what is going on and why it is not working as it should but as a last resort you can just export that precomp a s image (if that is static texture) or as a movie clip (if that is animated texture) and just use those files as that texture.


i am not able to see the preview of texture when i add it in the preview window where you can change brightness and when i add it i am not able to see it in element 3d but when i click ok and it goes to after effect i am able to see how to solve this problem : ( please help.


For me, the duration of my precomposed texture was the issue. It was shorter than my main comp's. Once I extended the amount of frames to match the main comp, my textures showed up again in the preview.


what version of the plugin do you have? I have 2.2.0

I set the texture parameters exactly as in the main composition, but this did not solve the problem, maybe it's the plugin version? or something else I'm missing


Texture in art is a visual element that refers to the surface quality of a painting (i.e. smooth, rough, matte, glossy, etc). Many artists seem to overlook the importance of texture, but I find it to be one of the most versatile tools at our disposal.


This watercolor painting by John Singer Sargent demonstrates the illusion of the rough texture of the land and mountains, but the paint itself is rather smooth. This is done through clever use of color, contrast and other visual elements. A downside of watercolor painting is that you are not able to build up a thick physical texture with the paint like you can with oils or acrylics.


In the painting below I used physical and visual texture to paint the foreground next to the river. I first painted a thin coat of grays and dull greens to give the illusion of rocks, soil, grass and so on. Then I loaded my brush and applied thick dabs of dull yellows to render the plants in the foreground. This creates an interesting contrast between smooth and thick textures.


Paint that has been applied smoothly across the canvas appears very different to paint which has been applied in a thick, impasto fashion. A general guideline I find useful is to try and match the physical texture of my paint to the characteristics of the subject I am painting.


Thick texture can be useful for painting dramatic, emotional, active or close areas. Going back to the above painting as an example, I built up thick texture in the foreground using a palette knife to create a sense of depth in the painting. The idea was to have a progression from rough, to medium to smooth texture as you go from the foreground through to the background.


There is only so much value you can get out of the physical texture of your paints. Usually, you will need to call on the help of the other visual elements to create the illusion of texture. This involves the clever arrangement of colors, contrast, brushwork, shapes and so on to mimic the texture of the subject you are painting.


For example, if you were painting glassy, calm water, you could use long, consistent strokes of high-key colors with very little contrast. This is demonstrated in the harmonious painting below by Claude Monet:


Clouds: I like to use thick texture for clouds, contrasted against a relatively smooth texture for the general sky. This creates a nice sense of depth. I also use thicker paint for areas which are hit by light and leave the shaded areas of the clouds a bit thinner.


Grass: I take advantage of visible brushwork and subtle changes in color to mimic the texture of grass. A useful technique is to grab a large flat or filbert brush and load it with varied colors (greens, yellows, grays). I use bold strokes to create the illusion of glass clusters.


Water: For turbulent water, I use thick paint which mimics the general flow of the water. I really try to feel how the water is moving and my brush will often follow this movement. For areas which are calmer, I use less texture and contrast. If you want to read more about this, then you should check out my post on painting realistic water.


Blue Sky: I use a smooth texture for a clear, blue sky but that does not mean I ignore brushwork altogether. I take advantage of subtle brushwork to create some kind of interest throughout the sky. Otherwise, large areas of monotonous color may appear overly bland.


Buildings: I often use a relatively thick texture for buildings to create a sense of depth in the painting (this bring the buildings forward in perspective). The palette knife can come in handy here for painting thick, clean blocks of color.


Rocks: When painting the highlights on rocks, I often use the palette knife to scrape thick paint over a dark base color. These broken colors closely mimic the way the light hits the edges of the rocks.


I'd like to take a WebGLTexture object that I've rendered into and use it to create an HTML image element. The goal is to display the result of an offscreen rendering pass for debugging purposes. It should be a lot easier than rendering the texture to a full screen quad, my current debugging method.


If there is a way to do this, I'm sure it will be useful in contexts outside of debugging. I'll continue to see if I can find a way to do it, but I feel like someone has had to have attempted this before.


You can create a framebuffer backed by a texture and then read the raw pixel data out of the framebuffer using gl.readPixels(). Once you have the data pixel, you can copy them to a 2D canvas using ImageData. Then you can construct an Image by setting the image's src property to canvas.toDataURL().


If you just want to actually save the image you'll probably have to send it to a server to be processed, but if you're looking to simply display the image on the same page that it was rendered you can set the dataURI that you were given to the img tag's src attribute and it should display properly.


But I noticed that if you use that feature with two different elements, it will always show the result of the first HTML element used no matter how texture you create as you can see in this playground: -playground.com/#FT8Z42#1


When run the code will rotate the texture in approximately the middle of the screen using the frame count to control rotation. You should be able to modify the code to rotate whatever you want, wherever you want it.


Forgive a complete noob here. Have tried to attach the code to an empty game object, GUI texture, cube primitive, the camera, and run out of ideas now where this is to attach to and what to try next to get it to work. Where do i attach this code to get it to work?


I have an object created in c4d and am mapping text on to it using Element 3D. The text is crisp in the text layer and in the pre-comp. Once it is applied to the model as a custom texture map it gets pixelated. I tried upping the resolution of the model. I adjusted the sampling and I adjusted the Preferences->texture map size.


Thanks for the reply. The texture mapping was set to Planar YZ. When I change it to UV I am unable to see the texture (text layer). It seems that perhaps the map is way too big? When I adjust the UV offset the entire object appears white (the text color) or black (the background).


In the examples below, I did go with wider apertures because of the background elements. For the cookbook shot, we needed a clearly defined background in order to really emphasize the texture of the ingredients. Blurring out the background behind the butterfly in the next example gave more definition to the textures of the wings and flowers.
