Dear Friend,
You are right,
I need an help in this regard, i have downloaded sample moving people from Marlin Studios. They have provided an 3DS file along with 600 tiff files both color and opaque. and IFL file. their help to use this file in any 3D software. their quote is as follows:
"Setting up the Material: Most 3d animation packages provide a means of using a series of images as an Animated Texture. One method is to use an IFL (Image File List file) instead of a single image. An IFL file contains a list of the images to be successively shown during an animation. By using the IFL located in the Color directory for the diffuse channel of a material and the IFL found in the Alpha directory as the Opacity channel texture, you can create a material that will move as the scenes animation progresses. "
We are not in a position to understand how to apply IFL.
Please guide us, if you know this concept.
