I have this project where on a surface is a charcoal-like texture. The animation is a basic 360 camera move around the object. Problem I have is my granite 3d texture I used swims as the camera moves. I tried the granite texture on specular and reflected color and same result. I tried on just the color node but I didnt like the feel it had. What am I missing to keep this texture static so it doesn't swim.

Thanks in Advance.

Swimming textures can be fixed by either Converting to Solid Textures or by parenting the 3D texture placement node to your geometry.

Good Luck,

With the conversion to solid texture I didn't get the result I wanted. The parenting still left a swimming texture. But, your answers did help for future projects. :)

Because of time constraints I built the texture in Photoshop and used a basic 2D Placement to keep it static.

Thanks again.

Try selecting the object and creating a texture reference object (under the texture pull down in the rendering menu-set)
Then group this node within the geometry. This enables the texture to be stationary
