Hey there,
I hope someone can help me with my problem. I want to bring a Logo on the cup I did with the Sub D tool But when I apply the curve on the cup I can’t scale it.
Thanks in advance,
Annabelle
Hi Annabelle - how are you doing this?
-Pascal
Hi pascal - I’m apply the curve in the surface. But the problem is that when I want to scale it in the right size the Logo won’t fit anymore on the round surface… do you have an idea what I can do?
All the best
Annabelle
Sorry I mean I use the command -apply curve-
Hi Annabelle - can you please post the file?
-Pascal
Hi Annabelle - ApplyCrv maps the curves to the entire target surface - so, to scale the logo curves, surround them with a rectangle like so
and include the rectangle when running ApplyCrv. The command does not support History so it may take a couple of tries to get the rectangle size and proportion just right to map the curves as you like. It seems FlowAlongSrf works but does not support History when applied to a SubD face (as opposed to a surface), or that would be the way to do this.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
It worked! This was really helpful!!

Hi Pascal,
should this also work with normal forms? Because I tried it and it again showed me in a too big scale…

Hi Annabelle - in this case the frame around the flat logo would need to be very much taller in proportion. The way it works is the outermost curve is mapped to the full target surface, use CreateUVCrv and then stick your logo inside that and map it back up with ApplyCrv.
However, for surfaces (not SubD), using FlowAlongSrf with History, isa far better way to go, because you can adjust the results until it looks correct - see the second part of this chapter:
