Thx for the info,

a tiny little moment i thought that there is a magic switch in Maya i am not aware of yet, or I'm simply to dumb.

Good to know that what i figuered out is correct.
I spend some time with fiddeling on the texture, but it's nearly impossible to fit it in the subd.
You may notice, when you try to 3d paint on the subD, it won't let you paint between the lines.

Can't i use a projection with a texture reference object, just as common with nurbs?

cheers
