projector component projects through the mesh, rather than on the mesh

    I can't seem to fix this. If I'm projecting on a cube using the projector component, the texture projects on the back of the cube as well. is there a way to turn this off? I've looked for a back cull option but can't find anything. Any help would be great.

    edit: just to clarify, it does project on the mesh, but it also projects behind it.

    I think that is just how projectors work. They project onto everything in their field of view. The only thing you can do, I think, is tweak the far clip plane so the back of the cube isn't included in the projection.
