Hi guys

Hi im trying to map a animated texture image sequence to a spot light. Which I swear I have got to work before. At the moment its not working?

my files set up like this: imagename_001.jpg is Maya having issues with the name format ?

Also I was wonderign if there is a way to affect the speed of a aniamted texture once it is placed (on an object or on a light)
cheers for anyhelp

I've not used animated textures much, you could try batch renaming them in Photoshop to the filename.000.jpg format and see if that works any better.

Seemed to work ok for me, just make sure that the frame numbers of your timeline correspond to the numbers used in your image sequence i.e. if the sequence is 70-300 the timeline should look the same as it reads things in 1:1

That could be a way to adjust the speed however, by editing the expression which reads in the image files.
