I have modeled a wine bottle and created various wine label designs for a client. The labels were created in Illustrator and so I have PNGs. I want to present a render of the same bottle with each label the client. The labels are not simple rectangles.
Should I:
"model" each label and wrap it on the bottle, or
try to map each label image to a portion of the bottle's surface?
I've seen lots of tutorials showing option #2, but something is telling me that the glass of the bottle should be separate from the "paper" label.
Also, with #1, couldn't I use the same bottle blend file and use a different layer for the each label, then turn on a different layer for each new render?
Maybe there's an even better strategy?
thanks,
