    I know the very basics of UV mapping but haven’t had to do anything to complicated. Now I have ran into something I have no idea what to do. None of the projections help me much attached is a photo of the surface I need to map. I watched a couple tutorials but they didn’t seem to solve my issue.

    Seems like it would just be a plane if unwrapped, what kind of texture would you like to apply?

    Thanks for your reply Justin
    I watched another tutorial and I was missing a part of unwrapping and now it’s better but how do I straighten it out? I’m going to put a bunch of text on the plane. attached is where i’m at you can see the text and map is warped.

    Looks correct to me, if the “paper” is not flat the text will not be either. Can you send the c4d file?

    Looks correct to me, if the “paper” is distorted the test should be too. Can you send the c4d file?

    Looks all good to me, the texture is bending with the model as it should.
