I'm having trouble getting movie textures to work. Everything seems to work, the movie is planar projected correctly on the object, but then the movie fails to animate along the timeline, staying on just a single frame. Any ideas or tutorials that can solve this?:bounce: .

Gotta do the same thing with the movie that you do for still frames..

make an expression that goes:

frameExtension = frame;

or, you can set keys for it if you want..

good luck!

I've only been using Maya for a couple weeks at best, but I have done this once, I just have to remember how this was done... I think you load the first image in the sequence as the texture, click one the use frame extension option, and for the frame extension parameter, write an expression that is something like: file1.frameExtension = frame. That will say, use texture.0001.tga for frame 1, texture.0002.tga for frame 2 etc. If you're using an avi then I have no idea how to do this.
