Mapping project
I’m a basic user, and most of C4D is above my brain power!
I’m trying to create a basic 3d California.I created a shape of California in Illustrator. Brought that shape in C4D and added extrude Nurbs to it. I created a material and added a Sat. map of California to it. Drug that material to my Extrude nurb. Lined everything up using the texture tag properties (offset & length x,y) Looks ok.
now when I move my extrude nurb, the map doesn’t move and gets distorted.What’s the correct way to do this?
Also, How can I give the mountains and valleys more of a 3d look?

And to expand a bit, the material tag property is set to: Projection=front
I think that may be where I’m going wrong. When I set that to UVW mapping, it squeezes the material down and only puts it on the edges. -
Yeah, frontal mapping won’t work with a moving object. You should probably use flat mapping. Then use the texture axis tool to rotate/move/scale the texture so it covers your object properly. If you use any deformers on the object you’ll also have to put a stick texture tag on the object to keep the texture from slipping.

That worked, Thanks!
