Im a Cinema 4d 7.3 user By the way!!

You guys, im in desperate need of your help!!
I am currently busy with a school project in 3d, where you can see a mirror that is cut out of a stone. The problem here is, i need the stone to fall of a table, but i have used a Nukei shader to represent the stone material, because it just didnt look good with a normal stone texture. When it falls down u see the material "glide" over the surface, like the stone mirror is actually falling through the texture, i.e. the material is 'moving". This sounds weird i know, and i hope u can still follow my story!

Is there anyway that i can convert somehow, the material that ive placed on my object, to a static texture?
Like when i first place the material on the mirrorstone, it looks just right, is there a way i can "unwrap" that material to make it into a normal texture?

I hope this didnt sound too dumb, but i really need ur help!

thnx in advance!!

I think that perhaps this question would be better to ask in the C4D forum.... I will move it there ;)

easy way, add a stick texture tag to your object.

second way, make sure that the texture is set to object or texture rather than world co-ordiantes, and if it is then make sure that the texture is applied as a UV map..
