image on a cylinder using php
|
|
|
| Hi,
I am triing to found out how to change an image so that it looks like it's
on a cylinder. Does anybody has an idea to get me started on the right track
as I am looking at gd but can't find it how to do it.
Best regards,
Edwin

Wrapping an image as a texture round a 3d object and generating a raytracing
is possible using PHP and GD, but it would be about as easy as writing a
flight simulator using the same tools (i.e. NOT).
If you want to do it with PHP, you could write a front end to POV

If not with php and GD what way would you take if you wanted to do something
like this?

I think basically what you want to do is to solve the basic problem (here,
altering an image so that it wraps around a cylinder) in whatever tool you
have available which can be called from the command line with appropriate
parameters. Once this is working, you then write a PHP script that calls
that image-manipulaton program.
So the PHP part in this case would be very trivial.

Adobe Illustrator. But it's expensive. I forget what they call it,
"image paths" or something ('twere a long time ago). I don't know if
the Gimp has this feature or not. The point: create the image and
upload it.
You also might be able to do something with Flash.
