Triangular Decal

I'm trying to use a Triangular decal in my rendering. The scenario is attaching a graphic to the gable end of a tent. The graphic is triangular. When I use Planar mapping and choose the three points it's using a four point system. Does anyone know how to use 3 points to map triangular?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Put the decal in a square or rectangle. That way you have four points to click, with the parts outside the triangle as an alpha channel which is transparent.

Accustudio

I know this is hard to believe, but Accustudio is over 20 years old. It has been quiet for a couple of years now at the site. I'm looking to hand it off to the next generation. Is there anyone interested in working on the site and eventually taking over the ownership of it?See More

Peter Milner replied to Peter Milner's discussion AR Studio texture editing
"Okay. Another question on textures: In nXt you can layer different textures and bump maps to create a more complex material. For example, the Oak veneer material (image attached) uses two bump maps: one for the grain and one for the flecks. In…"
