3D Scene Background

[jonathan.c.dray]

I have a 3D object using Scene Window and I would like it to be displayed in front of a 2-D planar image as a scene background.  Is there any way to do this, either using an image file or drawing lines within the scene?

Thanks!

alternatively, if anyone knows how to apply texture to a 3D mesh, that would work as well. Thanks!

to use 2D on the 3D environment, you have to create a object in 3D with one of dimensions very small. For example, a Box with height 1E-6 will be a square. After that, apply texture to the box. This will show the object with the image you want.

LabVIEW has a shipping example that shows how to apply texture on spheres.

This should do what you are looking for...

Hi id,

I think that you are talking about something like this example. I hope this one helps. You can look for more example code at ni.com/code.
