UVW mapping around the corners

Dear reader,
Can you tell me how to get my projection right on the wall with the round corners. (the forest)
With the UVW mapping I tried to get it around the corner (the front only). When I ask to fit in object I still see that it’s not projected around the corner.
I also made a selection of the front-sides but this didn’t work out.
See my attached file.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Michiel van der Velden,

Here is your file back, I do not included the textures, as you have those.

Each UV case can have some specific needs. The main problem to teach this, is normally over come if you take one UV polygon and move it, rotate it and scale it, to see the results of your actions. Use a plane with 3x3 segments and an image. This playful moving, scaling, rotating will set the base for any further steps. In hands on training I used an “image” with several little images, all distorted to a rhomboid, and asked the people to fit each UV polygon to each picture, so they look like a square. This was in the past 14 years the fastest way to move up the learning threshold of this technique.

Having said all of that, to know the commands in the UV-Edit work certainly helps to solve problems faster.

Here is the screen capture of your file, you can download it.

P.S.:

I tried to recreate where the problem came from in the first place, but if you have stayed in UV(W) mapping, things might have been simpler.

I adjusted the Extrude , as well the Polygon Solution.

please let me know if you have a question about this, I’m happy to look into it.
