ill.die.trying Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Would someone mind seeing if this is correct? TIA which one? 1.) is there a day and a night for the 3d car??? 2.) I've seen mention that you can modify the tilt angle of the 3d map. Can you go as far as ground level as if you were looking at the car from behind? TIA 1)no 2)yes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My first photochop looks good, try it out then see if you had the alpha channels set, It worked , but I have a white background.... I put the image on a tranlucent background. Also, I had to insert the files into my good data.zip. If I used one I let windows create then the unit would give me a windows error and then reboot after about 2 minutes. Is there a write up on how to properly make a data.zip file??? Now How do I get rid of the white background??? Also can I make the car a tad smaller? Do I have to do it photshop are can I edit the data.zip Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do I have to do it photshop are can I edit the data.zip to get rid of the white background, using photoshop, click the parts of the image that you don't want to show up then select inverse and then go to channels tab and add alpha mask, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aharper Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I've had some challenges getting this going and have checked my code over and over. I'm assuming that I have a bad .bmp file and am hoping that someone can help me make one the right way. Attached is a copy of my truck (two images in a .zip file, both 3d) from the back that I'd like to use for the 3d car, can someone help me make an image??? Thanks!!!!

gremlin190 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I got it!!! I'm not sure why this worked, but I selected the car and then on then selected the alpha color channel. I then cut the car out using ctrl-x which turned everything that was around the car black. Saved it and put it in and bam all was good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aharper Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Is there anybody who can double check my work (see a couple posts up). I tried creating a new .bmp file thinking that the file may be corrupt and wasn't able to make any progress. I then tried Steph's .bmp file and had the same problem... "System startup in progress. Please wait." Several minutes later the system reboots. Thanks for the help!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
