My sign company purchased MR 3D-Designer VIII some time ago and we played with it for a little bit but it was very difficult to learn so we put it away. Now the idea has flared up again. Anyone using it for vehicle wraps? We've always just taken actual photos of the vehicles, scaled them as needed then trace the outline and poweclip stuff inside etc. Works very good. And by the way DO NOT USE PHOTOSHOP for the whole layout!

Hello Myron; I've Never heard of that program before. But if it will print the decal and cut it without a printer, I might be able to use it. When someone comes in and says they want a RAP I ask them if they have LOST There MIND. LOL We charge about twice as much to take it of as to put it on ( $75.00 a man hr.)

Never used it, but I do the same as you. I take a photo of the cars or trucks then trace over it. But I use photo paint for the slick stuff. This way I can go back and forth easily. Or for the NHRA drag cars we make 3D models, then wrap the graphics to the skin.
I've gotten further into the software enough to know it's just fluff. Some customers might like the cool looking 3d version of their wrap design but it's still not on their vehicle and still won't be truely how it will look on the vehicle. It's on a generic line template. I think it's more trouble than what it's worth. I can show them a wrap design superimposed directly on their vehicle.
