Hello,

I am having some difficulty figuring out how to use a movie file as the texture on a plane. From what I've read, there's apparently two ways to do this: Using a "Movie File" texture, or using a "File" texture with "Use Image Sequence" turned on

1) I rendered the texture movie out as an .mpg and loaded it into the "Movie File" node, but nothing happens, the plane renders out in the default gray.

2) I rendered the texture movie out as a series of .jpgs and loaded it into the "File" node, but as soon as I turned on "Use Image Sequence", I got a warning saying that the texture file does not exist at the specified location, even though I'm looking directly at the texture file in the specified location.

What am I doing wrong?

Maybe you should tell which 3D app you use. And then better post it in that specific software category here on cgsociety.

Yeah you should state what software you use...
But my shot in the dark goes like this : render your texture movie as an .avi file...that should work (especially if you use max)
