Dynamically creating cover textures

[ryanmccauley211]

I am curious if you have any tips or suggestions on how to create book covers dynamically. I can see your demo covers seems to wrap around and I was hoping to allow users to choose a cover from an image and dynamically render it if this seems feesible?

If you are just letting the user select from a pre-made assortment of images, then you could just create multiple cover textures and then set the book cover material's texture based on what they select. Check out this search to help you get started: link

If the user is selecting from an image that is not a part of your project, then this is a bit more tricky. You will need to replace a portion of the book cover texture with the image the user selects. I have not tried this before, but here is a search to help: link

In either case, take a look at the supplied book texture templates and demo textures to get an idea of how the cover texture is laid out.
