I have just put an animated texture file on a plane and it took me days to figure out that I have to point out texture path to play them....

Now the quetion... How can I see the animated texture in real time when I drag the time slider, or I can't? It only showed the first frame. Do I need special hardware to do that?

Second... when you applied animated texture map, then go to edit in texture pane window and set movie sequence to range, can I change the "second" parameter to "frame" so I don't have to calculate each time???

Thank you for assisting...

the eidtor is not designed to display textures like movies and image sequences. If oyu hae an plugin called sniper pro oyu can se the texture change each frame, but really yousimply need to render a quick test.

I don't think its really possible to do this, however if it has a sound file you could scrub that in realtime.
