Projected texture problem

gnmsly

Hey folks!

I have a problem projecting a texture on a complex curved mesh.
Here's a rag I try to texture with a pattern.
I tried the projected texture trick, but then it's impossible to make it follow the curves of the rag, and the texture is streched on the side of the rug"

What can I do to make the texture follow the curves?

and my problem ;)

There are several threads about 'UV-mapping' - do a forum Search.
There are also several tools to help you make an acceptable mapping over a surface - projected textures are only useful for simplistic surfaces like tin-can-labels etc...
Search the forum threads and also the SCF Plugins Index...

What TIG says...

In SU, the only "native" way of projecting is planar. This may be okay from certain views (and not very curvy meshes) but of course, has its limitations...
