How to texture a screen(display) on a phone?

Hi,
I am working at a phone project , and i would like to put an wallpaper on the screen. The problem is what material(or matcap) to use for the screen(i would like to have a sort of reflection) and how to place an image like a walpaper on it. The thing is if i paint the image with spotlight, the resolution is not so good, and woldnt look like a screen turned on. I need a suggestion with a “big resolution”!

Hope you know better, thanks!:smiley:

As they say, “We’ll fix it in post.”

Seriously though, do it in post.

I think i’ll do something in photoshop or some screen replacement in nuke on a zmovie!:smiley:

Why not just map the screen texture onto a plane?

Texturemap is a solution. i still dont know what material to use.

You could texture the screen and then put a plane over that and give it a glass like look. If you are making the render in ZBrush, set ta transparent shader in BPR render prooperties. and BPR transparent shading in Display Properties. Playing wth the material strength will also help give more realism.
