Putting an image on a cylinder side primitive

mlominy

I'm trying to make a can of soup. To do so, I have loaded, dimensioned and converted to Iray a cylinder primitive.

My question: how do I put an image (jpg made with photoshop) or writing on the cylinder side, to simulate a label?

I know how to put an image on a primitive plane, but that is not the same geometry here.

Use the Resize Canvas command in Photoshop to add another 100% of the height to your label image - the mapping has the side of the cylinder in the lower half and the two ends in the upper half.
