Thanks Jeff, still trying but not working out for me yet.

Thanks Numbthumb, will try the UV tools.

Do the plugins appear in the plugins menu as UV tools ???

It will create a context menu called 'UVTools'

It shows a texture wrapped around the barrel of a cannon using the4 method described by Jeff Hammond.

Thanks so much guys, I will look into and try all you have said.

Vicspa

Numbthumb, sorry to be a pain in the A@#, but I still cannot find it in the plugins folder.

numbthumb

No hassle

You should find it in the context menu, not in the plugins folder.

thanks again Numbthumb, I'm going to be 65 this year, and I'm amazed how many "senior Moments" I'm having.

Thanks again to everyone, see you on the next senior moment.

Hi, Fredo:
I know you are not ready to release, but the gif sequence is too fast in the first "frames"?

If you wait a little bit, I will soon release a new plugin, ThruPaint, that can help of this kind of situation.

Here is how it would handle it:

Apply the texture'
Tiling 1 x 1
Translate in U direction to position the texture (in your case it does not matter as your cylinder is symmetrical)

The first frame is an artefact. No special meaning.
I updated the video anyway.
