Is it possible to make a projected image on a surface?

Hello there. I am making currently a rendering ( and i want to try to do it without photoshop as much as possible if there are any changes later on ) and I got this specific kind of wall and id need a projection on it that would look like one picture. The thing is the wall itself isnt just a flat surface thats why id be really hard to just put in textures and try to match them. 

Id need an image on that whole thing not just the middle part. 

Is there maybe like a projector family that can project a transparent image on a surface maybe? Or is it completely impossible currently? 

Thanks for the help!

Unfortunately not possible. There is something like a projector, a decal. However this places it on a single face. It does not work on multiple faces

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

Thanks for the heads up. I tried it with a more simple approach - was kinda okay to do I guess? - I just used textures and moved it around to fit the surface. But I guess there is no direct approach how to do it would be cool if a projector family could do something like that.

Maybe multiple instances of the same decal? Depends upon the complexity of the surface.
