Could Someone Give Me a Hand With Decals in OR?

So I've done decals in OR before, like for my Redshift project, and had good success. Now I'm trying to decide how I want to paint and Stickershock my Wildman Eagle claw, and I;ve been using OR to mock it up. I'm going for a missile-esque look, with bands, some "no lift" decals, etc, but I'm having some trouble. I can't get the decals to show up. I know sometimes I have to play around with the offset to get the decals to show up out of "hiding" off of the actual component, but I can't get anywhere. I'm trying to put this:




Onto the fin of this:

Thanks for any help!

Ay, nevermind I figured it out!

Looks like it was a file type issue. Downloading it as a png helped.

Actually, Decals are my weak link. I've figured out how to use a wrap, and how to FAKE them using "inner" body tubes (make them larger than the body tube and next to nothing thick), and fins.

I'm very interested in a tutorial if someone has one on how to do things that are not a wrap.

I successfully got some fin decals on the attached design. However, it took a battle to the death with the software to make it work, and enormous trial and error. Is this an example of what you're trying to do?

Unfortunately the ORK file is too big for me to attach, not sure how to get around that...

Yes... that is exactly what I'd love to figure out how to do.

Could you create a tutorial on how you do it?

Ok, first I'll see if I can figure out how I actually did it (!), then I'll write up a post.

Hope it helps someone.

That would be cool! Thanks. Been battling with it myself. So far, it's won.
