Hi there,
I have 2 problems with the layered texture node.
I have an animated 3d character that uses a 2D image sequence (exported from AFX) for the face.
I combine the image sequence and the base texture together in a layered texture node and use this for the color of the character.
problem 1. every time i open the scene, maya generates 3 black texture layers on top of the existing layers on my layered texture node. I have to delete them every time which is fine when rendering from maya - but - if I set up a .bat file to render several scenes, the material comes out black.
problem 2. If i render out a new image sequence from AFX, then reload that sequence in Maya it doesnt update in the viewport. I have a workaround for this by breaking a connection and rebuilding it again but still annoying..
Thanks in advance,
Andy
