How to transform image?

[3deeguy]

This animation is an experiment. The image texture that fills the box doesn't have a perspective effect. I'd like to know how to bind it to a bone so I can distort it slightly.

You can use a quad mesh to do that (We have been texturing many boxes for the movie here!). This tutorial could help you:

Thank you for the education Victor. I had no idea quad mesh had that kind of power. It's time to upgrade.

Quad mesh is definitely worth it:

Very interesting use of 3D quad meshing. Were the original image planes flat - or did you chop up an already 3D image?

It was an image with the three sides you see at the start. Then skewed & masked to each referenced side of the quad mesh.

Very clear vid Vector.
I'm trying to do the same distortion of a book, but for some reason, I go Scripts > Draw > Fill Quad Mesh
like you did in the video with the Fox, and it keeps giving me an error to check all the points.
I know all points are connected because I can paint/bucket fill them.

If anyone wants to take a look I would appreciate it.

Even if I start a new file, make a square it won't even register that as a quad.

If you remove the existing shapes, along the edges, you will be able to use fill quad mesh.

Sorry, I don't understand.

Here is a vid showing making one single quad and it failing.

You need to disable auto-stroke, if you're using the add point tool for this. Otherwise, delete the black outline by selecting it with the select shape tool.

Than you can use fill quad mesh.

Okayyyyyy. Yipeee, that was it.
