Apply a planar projection on to a solid texture

Select a tool from the Render > Create Texture Projections cascading menu.
Click or click-drag in a modeling window to place the pivot point of the new Texture Projection Object.
Note
The Texture Projection Object is different for each Projection type.

A new shader appears in the Multi-lister, with a Projection texture mapped to its Color.

Tips

The projection objects are moved by their pivot points. When they are created, the Planar and Tri-planar projections are not centered on their pivot points.
When you are using the Camera projection, it may be helpful to pick the objects you want to texture first, then use the Look at tool in the Cameras palette before creating the projection object.

To place a projective texture placement

Pick the projective texture placement object and the items that you want to snap to.
Choose Render > Place Projection or click its icon.
The texture placement object is snapped to the bounding box of the picked items.
