How to stick texture on an alembic animation? or create UV map on it?

This gif shows my struggle.
I made a simple cube animation in Oculus Quill, imported in Cinema 4D, and would like to stick a texture on it. But I cannot find a way to create UV map for this cube, thus I cannot use the UVW mapping(it gives me nothing, no checkerboard at all)
I tried stick texture, it’s not working. I set to spherical just to exaggerate the “slippery” texture. (Using the cubic projection looks fine despite the texture is not sticking on it.)
Cinema 4D’s native cube would have the UV build-in, but Quill’s cube doesn’t. But how do I slap a UV on it? -

Have you tried the “stick texture” tag from the Cinema 4d Tags list? (right click on object).
Put material how you want it then click “record” in the stick texture tag.
You can also try changing your mapping. That looks like Spatial. Try anything else. -
But depending on the alembicis (is that a word? alembicness?) you may need to animate the texture to change as the geometry of the object changes.

I just thought of something. Is that movement from the Alembic? Or did you animate that from a single “frame” of the Alembic. If the latter you can make the object editable (C key) and then you can apply textures as you normally would for regular geometry. You will lose all links to the alembic file though.
