Mapping texture to deforming geometry

[Brendan Dawes]

I wondered if anybody could give me pointers to correctly mapping a texture onto a geometry that for instance grows over time  using a solver so the texture is consistent?
 

I saw a technique that used the timeshift SOP and the $fend variable and then apply the UVs with an attribute copy SOP but it still looks very weird as the mesh grows, I guess because the starting geometry is so different to the end geometry. 
 

Any pointers to the correct way to do this?

A stable way to do this would be to texture those swept curves(?) at full growth and cut them short afterwards. Would this work in your case?

Ahh right — nice thanks. Might give that a go.

There is a couple of setups at this link that looks a little like your first post reference.
