this is great…buti have been playing around with it and i am having trouble mapping the sides of an extruded object…

say i wanted to continue to map the sides of the star, which is technically your stroke. how do you go about doing that?

i made my own 3D shape by extruding the sides.. i wanted to map a picture of wood on the extruded sides but it will not allow me…even though i have the correct surface selected it will not map the surface because it is a extruded stroke rather then a fill…. is there anyway around this?
