Mapping Media to Spline Media
You can map media to the face of a spline object or spline primitive. When using a shape
other than 3D Extrusions, you must add a texture track which you can then use to map the
desired media. You can map a still image, a video file, color, gradient or natural media.
Also see “Mapping Media to a 3D Extrusion” on page 323.
