How can apply an image around a hexagonal object?
For example, a landscape photo.
The image is placed, but it is totally messy.

Does anybody can help me please?
Thank you

Hi Kelson - you’ll need to apply some custom mapping with Unwrap It can take some messing about but you can manipu;late the unwrappewd mesh as needed to get the image where you like it.

Hi Pascal
Thanks for your tip.
How can I rezise the image or the surfaces in order to match them?
thanks
Kelson
Hi Kelson - move, rotate, scale the polygons on the image to modify how each face is mapped - you can turn on control points for the polygons as well and distort how they lie on the image - I think you are almost there.

What is the name of the tool to make this modification? I cant see it.
The yellow square on UV Editor it is not editable here.
Hello - with the editor open as in your image (it looks like) , you can manipulate the mesh rectangles on the image - do you see the mapping update as you edit the flattened render mesh?
-Pascal
Hello - never mind that control for now - there is another control open for the UV editor with a Cancel and Apply button - just directly manipulate the flattened meshes and then click Apply.
-Pascal
The control of UV Editor just manipulate the big image, not the small yellow squares. I need to edit each small pieces because some are different position, upside down, turned, etc. Any other idea?
I can’t imagine that it’s so hard just to wrap an image on a object. Should be a simple task. 
Hello - I don’t think it is so hard - when you start the editor, you get something like this:
You manoeuver the meshes so that it looks how you want:
-Pascal
Yes, but how can I edit the meshes? Where is the control? I did not find
Hello - there is no specific control - you select them and Move, Scale, Flip, Rotate Gumball etc - do whatever you need to get them in the right place.
-Pascal
Hi Pascal! Finally I got it working. My gumball was off, this is why I could not do anything. After turn it on, all working now. 
Thank you so much.
Now I am trying to make it 2d for printing it (UnrollSrf), but the image do not join it. How can I make it 2d with the image ?
Hello - I think I’d UnrollSrf (Explode=No here, I’d say) then do the mapping trick on the unrolled panels.

The problem is to do mapping again. I’d like to do directly from the 3d automatically. Do you think it is possible?
