Ruler Texture // Roundtable 1  |   Order by default Post by hemulin // Mar 11, 2006, 9:32am hemulin Total Posts: 1058 Does anybody have or know of somehwere that I can get the texture of a meter ruler without having to scan one in? I mean the texture with all of the numbers and markers on, so that I can just paint it onto an object. Post by stoker // Mar 16, 2006, 2:24am stoker Total Posts: 506 Why not just scan it in Hemulin. Rather than making life difficult + probably easiest way even if you had to do it in 3 or 4 seperate pieces. anyway:rolleyes: ;) Post by stan // Mar 16, 2006, 4:40am stan Total Posts: 1240 http://www.gaebel.com/MERulers.htm these are not full rulers but there are a few images.. Post by jamesmc // Mar 16, 2006, 5:21am jamesmc Total Posts: 2566 Try this freeware jr_screen_ruler program. It puts an image of a ruler inches or metric above any program. Just tested it and it appears to work with tS66. http://www.dirfile.com/jr_screen_ruler.htm I have no clue how accurate it is. There is a pro version, but didn't check it out. Post by stan // Mar 16, 2006, 5:35am stan Total Posts: 1240 jamesmc it's accurate..I have it too..but it's for 2d measuring..not so good in truespace. but he wanted a texture Post by jamesmc // Mar 16, 2006, 5:50am jamesmc Total Posts: 2566 Couldn't he make a pixel/cm texture from a screen shot of the ruler? Once made, you could even check out the accuracy of the texture ruler with the ruler. i.e. |Pixels across the top | |Centimeters across the bottom| Post by stoker // Mar 16, 2006, 6:01am stoker Total Posts: 506 Ok then maybe scanning isnt the easiest way of doing it:o I knew that:cool: :cool: ;) ;) Post by stan // Mar 16, 2006, 6:09am stan Total Posts: 1240 I imagine he wanted it for a scene he's doing.. but if any of you guys want ruler objects [cob] that are accurate for visual measuring in 3d space in truespace let me know and I will post some.. I have imperial [feet, inch] and metric versions...like these ...;) Post by stoker // Mar 16, 2006, 6:46am stoker Total Posts: 506 yeah go ahead Stan could come in use Get them posted:D :D :jumpy: Post by hemulin // Mar 16, 2006, 9:05am hemulin Total Posts: 1058 You're right Stan, I do want it for a scene, and I want to save myself the backache of scanning a meter ruler in. Really i'm just wanting the full metre long (scaled down of course) image of a wodden ruler (preferably). The ruler is to be rendered along with the rest of the scene.
