Box Mapping Issue

Question

Hi everyone!!I have a question and would appreciate your help.... I'm working on an animation that will be displayed on an LED mesh, mapped in cube form (as shown in image 01). However, I need to create this entire animation in a single composition so that the elements move continuously through the top, front, back, left, and right without any cuts or time jumps. However, there are spaces (marked in red in the image) that prevent this from happening; it's a kind of void that doesn't exist in the mapping. The question is: Is there any way that, for example, when a line moves from the left side to the front side, it automatically "skips" this region and doesn't generate thickness or timing errors in the animation? I tried to illustrate this with the yellow line in image 3. Thanks!

It might be worth looking at the VR solution built into AE. From a master comp in 3D space, it creates six duplicates, each with a camera set to shoot one full face of a cube. The project creates a final comp which blends these 6 comps together. I’m wondering if you disable the blending / distorting effects on final comp, would you get something you could adapt for your purposes?

Failing that, I’ve seen a few videos recently using Madmapper, which is a projection mapping tool that lets you define where to project an image. You might be able to use this?
