Yes, either that, or convert the flat mapping to UVW mapping (Object Manager>Texture>Generate UVW Coordinates). -

The easiest way is to use the Paint Setup Wizard. It’s in the Tools menu (BP layout). It’ll set up your UVs and bitmaps so you can get right to work. Of course you can always go back and adjust UVs or whatever.

It’s a great book, but as I recall it does spend a fair amount of time on features you don’t have, e.g., radiosity and SLA shaders.

Also, Mesh Deformer may do the trick: https://www.tarabella.it/c4d/

There’s a plugin called “Spline Projector” (or something like that) that would make this pretty easy. https://www.tools4d.com

Target tag will work, but there’s actually a dedicated “Look at camera” tag.
