Bake texture on surface

[paul.metzger]

Sometimes I´m really wondering what the heck is going on Sorry:

I´m trying to import an image by filepath to rhino with grasshopper. Yes “Import Image” component is one option. The problem here. I´m trying to bake 77 images. Import image gets really slow when increasing the sample sizes to a value that does not create pixelated images.

Yes, custom preview is an option but I want to bake the image into the rhino document.

I´ve also tried to bake the surface with a material and Elefront´s bake component. But the material doesn´t show up in the “shaded” viewport. Importing an image to the viewport by drag and drop does show the image. It´s the same path, both are surfaces attached with this material.

WHY???

Solved it by changing the color & material usage in the “shaded” settings to “rendering material”.

If you want the same behavior as the Picture command then you need to set the object display mode (_SetObjetcDisplayMode) of that newly created object to Rendered, which is what a Picture object does
