Have you tried looking at the COOR command?

Thats what I have been using, i get close using method 4+256 but I have tried each method and so may different position locations, I dont have any issues with straight stuff lol here is a picture. the first one shows the bottom rail where the material changes direction, and the second shows what the material looks like by the time it reaches the top of the rail.

You will never have a correct map using Tube.
You must create the tube with VERT, EDGE, PGON

I tried 4+256 with tube. It doesn't work to me. Where did you find this 256 mask?

It only partially works, at least that i am getting to work. I think you are correct with tube not being able to make it work

I am also only using 4+256 on curved tubes, I use box method for the tube when its straight
