Changing an object’s local coordinate system orientation (6.0)
This is a tutorial that deals with changing the local coordinate space of an object to better help deal with texture placement. Projected textures (planar, cylindrical, etc.) are applied relative to the local Z axis of an object and something this isn't the optimal way of setting a material onto an object. This tutorial discusses a couple of ways of dealing with this.
