Text on a Curve>Mesh I would like to put the text on the jacket of cable I have rendered. As the Cable itself starts off as a curve which is then converted to a mesh, I need a solution to place it on the mesh and follow it
Just unwrap the black cable and add the text as an image texture.


Add seams to the cable - two around (to cut it from the rest), and one straight (to make it flat).
Connect and position the image texture (either by moving the UV or using the Mapping node)
Done.


You'll need at least three seams here, to unwrap it flat.
