You can think of UVProject as a "baked" or "sticky" projection.

The main difference is how they'll behave if you transform/deform your
geometry AFTER your projection.

UVProject "bakes" the UV values into each vertex, so if you transform those
vertices later on, they'll still pull the textures from the same coordinate.

The other difference between UVProject and Project3D is how they behave
when the aspect ratio of the camera window is different than the aspect
ratio of the projected image.
With UVProject, projection is defined by both the horizontal and vertical
aperture. Project3D only takes the horizontal aperture, and preserves the
aspect ratio of whatever image you're projecting.


Hope that makes sense.

Cheers,
Ivan
