  Distorted UVW Mapping on Complex Geometry

  Posted by James Kaudewitz on December 25, 2016 at 4:19 pm

  Hi Everyone,

  I’ve searched for several hours for an answer to my question and nothing has solved my problem yet. But this place seemed the most knowledgable. Any help is very much appreciated.

  I have a camera projection of an image onto a fairly complex geometry. I am trying to “stick” the projection onto the object so I can modify the mesh as I desire.

  My current process: Right-Click on the texture tag of the geometry > Select “Generate UVW Coordinates”. But it distorts the image. Please the images below for a before/after example.

  Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and it’s possible to correct it? Or should I just opt for baking to bitmap? Thanks very much for your knowledge!

  the underlying mesh needs to be pretty clean to work well, check out this thread https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/19/890909#890914
