Material Editor: Reduce Stretching on Animated Mesh
polycounter lvl 8
Question!
Is there any way using the material editor that a texture can be actively kept in proportion on a mesh that is animated? Like, a way to reduce the amount of texture stretching as a mesh (like a simple plane) deforms?

Seems like the solution to my question might be pretty complex considering the mesh in question pretty much never deforms in the same way twice. Maybe a particle would be able to do it?
The goal, btw, is to have a ball launch, then be followed by the after image of a ball at a set interval. Right now, I have a mesh being drawn behind the ball to render a trail (like Unity's trail renderer) and I planned to have the afterimage travel the same mesh... but there's lots of stretching so it's not working the way I thought.

I think a coding solution has been reached that will be efficient. I'll have a look at this and learn something though. Thanks again!
