Texturing a thicken object

[Radiometric]

Hello!

How can i texture different parts of a thicken object?
In particular the front, back and thick parts of the object?
I want to animate a book/folder.

the setup of the folder-cover is a plane, which i put it into
a thicken object.

Thanks.

Hi Radiometric,

In the Thicken Generator Object, you find default Selections.

These can be activated and used in the Material Tag, which allows three materials to be worked on.

Let me know if that works for you.

Cheers

Thanks for your answer. I know about these selections in the Thicken generator, but I also included a Bevel deformer. I should have mentioned this in the first place—sorry. I watched a tutorial about capsules and the possibility of selecting only the beveled part. I think I can go this way

Thanks for the reply. Radiometric,

Yes, the invert initial selection; now we can do it also via capsules/nodes. For anyone not knowing this technique:
