Create Texture for tapered trash can
by Brett Frame on Jun 4, 2008 at 3:21:57 am

Hello All,
I am working on a wire mesh, street trash can. To create the mesh look I am applying a transparency texture to the trashcan sides. this creates the mesh look but the pattern I apply doesn't lay correctly around the can. At certain points the mesh stretches out to makes its way around the trash can.

How can I layout the wire mesh texture so that as it wraps around the trash can it fits correctly and doesn't stretch out. Do I apply the texture as planar, cylinder... Any thoughts.

Thank you,
Brett
