i am trying to put a wide pic on to a piece of “film” i will extend its length to suit the image.
but when i press F12 i just see a jumble of colours.
the film will move on the circle thingy.
thanks

Did you UV unwrap your mesh?
You have a lot of double vertices and some overlapping geometry, might want to fix that first.
i never do UV - just never works for me - i use the old way

thanks
Apply the array modifier so the generated coordinates are for the whole object rather than just the segment used for the array
Also no map textures included in the blend file so we don’t know exactly what you are seeing
i included the map - i see it above!
will try the array thing - but i wanted to be able to vary the length of the object to get it to fit the map.
thanks guys
well i tried blenders stupid useless UV thing and look at the screen.
i need the picture along the shape. not across it.
helpful suggestions welcome
part of the problem maybe the constant tinkering with blender so that slightly old blender books do not work.
thanks fellow sufferers

i solved the problem
lesson learned - do not make the film with array.
made it again with copy paste. and all is well
thanks all
