Bent veneer wood, layered side, make texture follow the bend, Rhino 7

Hello, this is my first post, maybe the question is silly.
I try to create a rendering of a chair. The model exists and has been used as a template for production.
we would like to make a version from molded wood and I am struggling to get the waffle-like layered veneer of the board when viewed from the side right. the stratae just don’t follow along the bends.
I extracted the ribbon running around the board with dup edge, joined curves und aligned directions of the 2 parallel curves. sweep 2 to create a new single surface. expected the texture then to run along like a road, but no… would be greatfull for a hint … many thanks! F



Hi @Studio_Radiostation,

Go to the Rhino tutorials page at Rhino - Learn to use Rhino (rhino3d.com) and take a look at the Materials Mapping video. That will show you how to get the materials to flow how you want.
