I know the pattern doesnt stretch in real life, foil doesnt stretch. But there is literally no other solution. It doesnt matter what you do with the material projection, or UVs, you are asking for the impossible, it cannot be done. The only way it will work is if your 3d model incorporates the same folds, creases and imperfections that you see in the photos. You have to model the folding of the foil to keep your even pattern, there is physically no way to make it work on a smooth crease-less foil neck. Go take a look on turbosquid: https://www.turbosquid.com/Search/Index.cfm?keyword=champagne+bottle&media_typeid=2 Every champagne bottle on there either; Doesnt have a pattern on the neck Has the pattern squash and stretch Has the pattern cut off 4 times with cubic projection with seams Curls the whole pattern around like a beer bottle neck label Here, cubic mapping using folded flaps to hide the seams. even diamonds and cyl shape test.zip

I dont know which renderer you are using (so dont know if you have it) but this may be a good case for tri-planar mapping, some parts will be a bit blurred - but the overal effect should be fine PS see attached

New version 2.0 release NEW in 2.0! - Brick fill parameter which controls generation of all bricks so that bricks can be missing - Seed for brick fill which controls randomization - Select parameter where one can select specific brick or range of bricks to be excluded from generation Some random missing bricks

While studying the fascinating concept of density (gradient), I thought about applying what I learned to the previous project and I must say that I really like the result. Naturally in an absolutely primordial state, in this test I tried to obtain a sort of effective fluid dynamics from a performance point of view by feeding "only" 20,000 particles. Currently the code produces good fluidity (with adjustable viscosity) and a taste of surface tension, in the future I will try to refine the system!
