You can use the Effects>Projector shader to move/rotate/scale the texture, and also turn off tiling. It takes a bit of trial and error. Best to use the active region render with low settings while making adjustments.

You can get lines on those bevels by using the Angle line type in the Render Tag’s Lines tab. You’ll need to adjust the Min/Max angles if you want a single line.
I’ve set up an object with one beveled edge and applied two sketch materials to it: one for just the bevel and one for the other edges. If you want the same line you can use a single material.

If you attach the file I’ll give it a shot.

I think you might be able to get the right effect using the Time effector instead of a Plain effector, or even an Inheritance effector, but the easiest way to do this would be to use a standard particle emitter, using the variation parameter for speed.
-
That is strange, but the easy workaround is to use the Spline Union command instead of connect and delete. It’s found in the same palette as the other spline creation tools.

What version of x-particles are you using? I have V3 and the Trail Object gives a “Constraints” option. If your version doesn’t have that you might set your constraints to use particle distance and then use the same distance for your trail connection.

The constraint tag should work for this. Can you post a file?

Put an Octane>Object tag on the Trail object, go to the tag’s Hair tab and enable hair rendering.

Also, if you hold down Ctrl when dragging a null to a layer all objects (and tags) will be added to the layer.

I would keyframe the scale of the object being cloned and then use a Step Effector’s time offset parameter to make it sequential.
