alice-teacher Importing Objects

[Don Slater]

Susan,
All 2-D images would be treated as billboards in Shapes / Text tab of the Gallery. See the attached screen shot… You would select the Billboard object, and from the drop-down menu for either "front paint" or "rear paint” select “Import Image…”. Then browse through he file system to find your image.

If you have used the Resource Manager to import your image, then you should find that image listed in this drop-down menu.

Please let me know if you have any other questions…

All the best,
Don Slater

I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

The true object of all human life is play. -- G.K. Chesterton
