Hey everyone,

I am trying out Blender for custom level building, and so far, the only issue I've encountered is texturing for tube curves (shown in the first two image attachments).
I used the spin tool to make the tube curve, but the tube texture does not display properly. (shown in the third image attachment).
The fourth image attachment below shows the flat platform with the tile texture curving with the platform, which is how I want to texture the inside tiles of my tube curve.

I also tried to use the UV editing feature in Blender and unwrapped the texture for each face in edit mode, but it didn't rotate the inside tile texture with the tube curve.

Does anyone know of a way to make a texture rotate with a tube curve?

By the way, @Daniel-xl7fo on YouTube has some excellent Marble Blast level building tutorials for Blender! If anyone needs help using Blender for level building, be sure to check out his videos!
