  • WHY are my textures sliding?!

    Posted by Eric Sanderson on January 6, 2010 at 10:23 pm

    Im in a rush and this is really putting me behind and im goin crazy lol. My letters are flying into screen from behind the camera but from frame 0-85 my texture is sliding and at 85 they abruptly stop..there are no keyframes on 85 for anything. When i look at my texture UV bounding box thing it does seem to be moving and what is causing the slide but why is it not just attached to my object like it should be? Ive attached the project so if anyone can help me out youd be a life saver. Its C4D ver 11.5.

    I don’t know why the problem is happening, but you may want to try the “Stick Texture” tag…

    Hope this helps!

    That was one of the first things i tried with no luck…im not using any sort of projection maps either, using cubic..:/

    It’s because you animated the spline and not the Extrude containing it but the texture is attached to the Extrude, so the spline moves through the texture space (which it’s getting from the Extrude) and the texture slides.
    Try clicking on any one of the texture tags and use the Texture Tool or the Texture Axis tool. You will see the relevant letter move into the texture ‘cube’ over the first 85 frames or so, now try putting the texture on the spline and now the texture space should move with the letter.
    The problem is that won’t texture the letter correctly so I think you have to redo by animating the Extrude and not the spline in it. Making it editable would solve the texture space thing as well but that breaks the way you animated so that won’t work.

    So i worked myself into a hole lol…i thought that might be the case but hoping it was a last resort solution, thank god most of it was done with expresso and just have the one letter to re animate and just reference the extrudes instead of splines. Thanks so much for the info.

    You might be able to solve the problem by changing the projection to from Cubic (which in fact is a projected type) to UVW.

    that was one of the first things i tried and didnt work, but i didnt know cubic was projected, good to know. I just solved the problem by adding the animation to the extrusion instead of the splines.
