Rhino 4.0 + vRay for Rhino + JPG Decal = How?
I've designed an ebook reader in Rhino and want to render it with a sample screen I've created. I'm using vRay for Rhino and know you can add simple 1-colour decals, but have no idea how to add a sample screen created as a full-colour jpg.
Can anybody help me?

Best answer: I don't know if it's the same, but I do this in vray for Sketchup all the time. Limited slip's answer is probably perfectly workable too.
Anyway, the way I learned to do it is to
1) make a new vray material
2) go into the Diffuse options for that material
3) click on the little "m" icon
4) choose type > bitmap, and then in the bitmap options click the little "m" again and choose your jpg.
5) apply this new material to the screen of your ebook reader.
Hope this helps...

Maybe also add another extruded 2mm glass/transparent solid on top with just a little gloss
Post up the results!
