> This page covers the **Projection node** of the classic node materials in **Cinema 4D**. It generates new UV coordinates from different projection systems — the node counterpart of texture-tag projection modes.

The projection of the structure can be set up individually to control scale, position and projection type per Node or for specific parts of the Node setup.

Using this setting, projection coordinates can be created for materials with different coordinate systems. New UV coordinates will be created.
