Title: How to apply 1 label across multiple objects?
Post by: jiyang1018 on December 03, 2014, 05:09:22 AM
I am modeling a keyboard, and I want to map 1 label file to all key caps.
I tried label and color but the result is very similar. It seems every key cap gets exactly the same position on its own label. I did not have repeat checked if you are wondering.

Make sure to link all the individual material on the keys. Then you will be able to apply one label across the entire model.

As shown in the screenshot, all those key caps with prints are the same material. So yes, they are linked.

Can you share the scene and the label so we can take a look? Use keyshot.wetransfer.com and send to thomas@luxion.com.

I got it working but only using normal projection.
