A little tutorial at the side for anybody who wondered how to seamlessly align a raster graphic to a path. I’ve googled it and after a while I gave up to find a software that is actually able to do it just like this. By just like this I mean seamlessly and without any major distortions or gaps or whatever.

In Blender it works like this:

1. Create the texture mesh and add your texture, a UV map and enough subdivisions to it. There’s no need for a subdivision modifier.
   
    
   Modifiers:
   First: Array
   – Fit Type: Fit Curve (add the Curve you will create in the next step)
   – Activate Merge
    
   Second: Curve
   – Object (add the Curve you will create in the next step)
    
   

 

2. At the same coordinates (important!), create a path and shape it the way you need it.
    
   Data-Properties (little path symbol in the object-properties menu):
   – Activate Bounds Clamp
   – Activate Stretch
   – Raise resolution of Active Spline
