I would like to place a flat, bitmap image (JPG, TIF, GIF, etc.) onto an object such as a standard primitive (sphere, cube, cylinder, etc). The effect I'm trying to get is a picture pasted onto an object like the face of a cube or wrapped around a sphere (like if you were to take an actual picture and glue it onto a ball).
I just want one image to show, not be a pattern on the face of the object - the object will have it's own color/texture and then have the image on it as if it were glued onto it (so it would have to conform to the image shape and can be faced in any direction when the object is rotated).
I tried going through a tutorial that showed you adding a label to a bottle of wine, however the tutorial didn't explain how to create the material that was used as the label! When it was added as a material, it came up as a cube instead of a sphere with the material showing (in the Material Editor).
Can anyone explain how I can make my own material like this or where I can find a tutorial that will explain the steps to creating it?
