Cylindrical Projection

Cylindrical Projection

Cylindrical projection wraps an image around the selected axis like a paper towel wrapped about a cardboard tube. By default, an image is wrapped so it covers the surface once, allowing the side edges of the image to meet on the back of the surface. A soda can and a tree trunk are both good examples of surfaces that would use Cylindrical projection.

Cylindrical projection is always wrapped around a surface so that the top of the image appears towards the positive axis side of the Texture Axis.
