The image above was rendered using Inventor Studio. In the assembly file, there is a decal on the LCD screen. Unfortunately, Inventor Studio does not have the capability of rendering decals. This has been one of my problems in using Inventor. However, this Q&A about rendering decals has answered my question. The one who answered the question suggested to use the Surface Styles in Autodesk Inventor and use a bitmap file as a texture. All you have to do is to adjust the scale of the bitmap. When experimenting with it, I’ve had problems in being able to put the texture in just one face because that is the one where I’d like the decal to appear. The material selection in Inventor Studio is only enabled for the whole part and not just for the face of a part.

    Hi Karla,

    Gud am. Nice 3D-graphics that you have rendered using Autodesk Inventor. Just wait ’till Autodesk and Allias
    completed their merger. Kindly, read Aj Siytangco’s article regarding this in TECHNEWS of the Manila Bulletin. By the way, your work is cute :)

    Kernel :)

    actually, autodesk bought alias..
    and they have also acquired Engineering Intent
    my work actually looks like a Sony Ericsson phone rather than a Nokia phone. I was just starting with a basic project first before pursuing a project that deals with surfacing :D
