[NEWBIE] Quick question about picture frames Sept 10, 2018 21:33:44 GMT -5

Hi hi 😁✌

I was wanting to add some of my favorite pictures to the game but using a base game frame on it's side -

Here is original frame...

Here is the frame 90° on it's side that I want to use...

I've added pictures before but never altered the main mesh like this (also is the back of the picture that important? or will I need to rotate that too?)

My question is do I need to set up a new mesh so this sideways frame will show up in game? (if so can someone please link me a tutorial on this as I've never ever made a new mesh before)

or

Can I just OBJECT > STANDALONE RECOLOR > select the frame > Import the frame on it's side ?? 🤔

Thank you in advance for any help with this! 👍

hi! I suggest you read this guide: sims4studio.com/thread/1514/resize-rotate-painting-absolute-beginners.

rotating the texture isn't going to rotate the painting, you must edit the mesh in blender. and when you do, you only need to rotate the photo inside the frame not the whole texture.

:D :D Perfect! :D :D

"rotating the texture isn't going to rotate the painting, you must edit the mesh in blender.

That is what I needed to know. Thanks so much for the speedy reply & the link.

I think rotating the oval not the painting is going to do my head but will give it a go.

Thanks again.
