Hello! I want to know how I can flow an image along a surface? I tried “flow along surface” but it doesn’t work. Anybody knows what can I do?

Thanks in advance!

I want to flow “a” around “b”. Is that possible? Is for rendering. I use VRay 3.4.

Thanks!

Hi David - It sounds like you just need to apply the image file as a texture in a material for the bendy object. You may want to extract a copy of a surface of the target object and use it as a custom mapping object - I do not know how Vray behaves with custom mapping.
