I have a grid array of clones (cubes) with a texture applied to them driving some parameters in a beat effector. I can't properly set the texture (it's a jpg image) to distribute evenly in the array (I don't want every clone to have the texture but instead to have all the clones share the texture), the only way I manage to do this is by setting the texture to "frontal mapping", and it works great... until I move the camera. Is there a way to fix the texture to avoid problems with the camera movement? (I've tried the fix texture option but it doesn't seem to work). Or otherwise: Is there a way to apply the single image to all the clones in conjunction (as if every cube was a pixel) instead of having the image displayed in every cube.

Assuming you're using version 10.5, you can use flat mapping for the texture and then change the "Fix Texture" parameter in the Cloner properties to "Straight".

I couldn't get Adam's method to work as "flat" projection is not what I need but I managed to get the camera mapping working correctly. Thanks a lot to both of you for the advice!
