Revit Tutorial - Logo Painted CMU Wall

Labels: , , , , , ,
Here is a cool one that a buddy of mine asked about. Sean asked:

 I was wondering if you knew of a way to place a logo or an image on a surface like a wall, while also showing the detail of the wall say (CMU wall). I tried taking it out of photoshop as a png., tiff., and jpg. and eliminated the white. Also tried to make it a transparency tiff in photoshop, but couldn’t get it to print without the edges with the white fill. Whats my issue?

Rendering of a CMU Wall with a Logo Painted on it.

    2. Creating the logo Material.
    3. Applying the logo Material.
    4. Rendering and viewing the logo.

You can also do a negative of a decal in Revit to delete the backround of the image that you do not want to see as well I believe.

Yea, whenever you create a decal there is an option to create a cutout, you use the same file as the original image for the decal but an inverted color option and this will "cutout" the areas of white on the source image. Of course they have to be true white, but it works pretty good.
