The problem is the map would be in 2D, yes? So it wouldn’t render accurately from proper 3D perspective.

Mir is a little beyond my abilities, but I can follow along a tutorial. However, I can’t seem to find a tutorial specific to my need.

It seems this would be super helpful and animating motion where you want different objects to all have the same speed but maybe not all…
