OK, once you have the TV in the scene:

1 - Right click on it
2 - Select "Edit" to open the edit window
3 - Click the arrow next to "Properties" to expand it
4 - Click the little thumbnail next to "Screen Image"
5 - Select "Import" in the lower left of the window that pops up
6 - Navigate to your image

That will put on the screen whatever you like. You can also use AVI files if you want something to actually be moving. You can even assign one of the cameras to it so you can animate something live to appear onscreen.

Hope this helps!

The options are in the TV edit menu. I don't have Muvizu right in front of me, but I believe you right click on the TV and select Edit or Edit Object or something like that. That will bring up the window with the options for the TV. You can pick its color and also what shows on the screen. This is where you'll import your PNG. Don't use the Create-->Import option, that's only for importing new objects.

I'll check for sure when I get home but I think those should be the steps for you.]]> Tue, 16 Jun 2015 14:00:50 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4995-typing-text-and-importing-it-onto-a-tv-screen.aspx Message from jjmovie Danimal wrote:
Are you using the TV that's in Muvizu? If so, if you click to edit the TV, there should be an option to import an image for the screen. You'll do this through the TV edit, not under the Create menu, which is going to look for actual models to import.

You could also just use a basic backdrop for the whiteboard. Same thing there, you'll import the texture while editing the backdrop, not under "Create."

I hope this helps!




I just am not seeing where to import. I created text in MS paint and saved it as a .png file on my desktop. I click on my TV object (yes it is a Muvizu object). There is no option to import. I click on import again over under "Create" while I have the TV screen marked. I go to the desktop. My .png image is not available. This is driving me nuts. I do not see an option to import while I have the object clicked. Is there a step by step tutorial for dummies?]]> Wed, 10 Jun 2015 13:49:08 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4995-typing-text-and-importing-it-onto-a-tv-screen.aspx Message from Danimal
