  • Using a QT as texture…..Length llimit????

    Posted by Robyn Rhodes on February 25, 2009 at 5:16 pm

    Hi,

    I’m trying to use a 4:53 min 3.51 GB 864×486 quicktime movie as a texture in C4D R10. It has an alpha channel. I am creating a new material, then loading the movie into the Color and Alpha channels. Choosing Timing “exact frame”, Mode “simple” and then clicking calculate in animation. I get a texture error. I exported a 15 second piece of the clip and that seemed to work great. Can anybody help me get the whole clip to work as a texture please?

    Thanks for any help!

    G

    I don’t really know, maybe Adam?, but perhaps it’s a memory problem (if it has to load the whole movie) how about saving the movie as an image sequence and using that (it would only have to load a frame at a time).
