Does any have any pointers for curved material mapping? Say on a tube curving for railing

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

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

Very good. We used different method.

Very good work. Are you still using objects cutted or other method?

I am using the tube command with a custom profile from a polyline.

Hi,
If you split the tube into segments instead of tubing you can address coor command to every segment individually.

exactly i used 2+1024 for the coor. took me a minute to calculate the positions to have the material line up. I am still a little off with the rise.

but depending on the material and resolution it still does pretty good.

wood grain with high resolution
