Schweet... I don't suppose it comes with a plastic top for travelling?

I was thinking that using the "world" version of the logo which Mr. Colefax
made would be better for this.

Is it possible to have your source for the cup Chris? Maybe we could
play around with the logo to see what comes up?

Looks easy to tip over when full.

Many thanks. I love these kind of challenges.

Hi Chris, ok, I've had a little go at what I think you wanted. It's
nothing special, just a quick look at what the mug might look like with some
text. I'm hoping some others might be having a go at this, as the design
I've come up with isn't brilliant by a long way and I'd love to see what
they come up with...
A few questions if I may?
I'm intrigued/puzzled/fascinated by your use of the image_map. How did you
know where to place it in the first instance with a 'complicated' image,
trial and error? Or is there a set way to determine this? I can guess that
the large area of free-space around your logo is to cover the rest of the
area on the mug, ie, the inside, outside of the mug, but why does it have to
be that way? Couldn't a smaller image be applied to one specific area of the
mug instead of having a large area of free-space? I don't understand this.
Also, can you explain why it's a reversed/mirror image before applying?
I'm totally thrown by this, but had great fun trying to line the image
up. ;)

I guess I can answer this one since I modelled the mug in Rhino. The answer
is simple : it's a uv-mapped mesh. The bitmap template is obtained directly
using uvmapper (the original obj file is needed for that). It's large
because it covers the whole surface of the mug, interior and exterior (the
handle has its own map, not used here). Note that it could be very easy to
change the template and rewrite the mesh uv coordinates to give more space
to the logotype (again, using the original obj). One problem though is that
the uv grid lines are not parallel so that distortion occurs (tricky to
fix). See the attached screen shot of the mug in uvmapper pro (demo) showing
the repartition of the map surface.
Note that the logo could be done with a regular plane or cylinder mapping
after getting rid of the uv info, but then the image would get replicated on
the other side or in the inside and the normals would be messed up on the
edges. For simple objects like this, it's possible to find workarounds for
regular povray mapping, but uv mapping is much more flexible.
> Also, can you explain why it's a reversed/mirror image before applying?
For some reason, there are problems of inversion with meshes and their uv
maps. Basically original (obj) mesh geometry tend to be inverted after
conversion to povray. This may be fixed during the conversion process, but I
tend to follow the easiest path...

Gilles, my sincere apologies to you. I'm looking at the code now and see
your name.... :(
My sincere apologies to Chris too....

Yes, as I found out. As I mentioned, I had great fun trying to line up
my version without some kind of distortion, but due to 'natural' distortion,
ie, the curve of the mug, I found it difficult to find the right
perspective, (which is why my version looks distorted towards the base even
after trying to distort the image to compensate in an outside paint
program).

I see, thanks for that.

Thanks. I understand a touch more now Gilles: I need to experiment with
UV mapping myself, (I haven't yet).
I've learnt a bit from playing with this image though, which takes me a
bit further with my enjoyment in using PoV-Ray.
Thanks for your informative reply.
