Mapping Textures to Extrusions

Whether you’ve extruded a path you exported from Photoshop and treated with Illustrator or created an outline from scratch with splines using the Pen tool, when you have the 3D shape set up, you’ll probably start wondering how it will look with a bitmap image or movie file mapped to its face. It’s easy to find out.
