hi friends, here is a new funny trouble thing. as you know, i have this little guy. now i made some quicktime movies for his face, beeing mapped on it. works well as long, as the head does not move, when it moves the "face-movie" does not move within. here are some screenshots for showing you the problem. how could i change my asssets for having my little guy moving his face with his head? thanks for any help. dearest benjamino

here is the wrong version

and here are the texture settings... thanks for helping

Looks like your face map is set to PROJECTION MAPPING/FLAT MAPPING. It's projecting the face on to the head object much like a projector would project a movie onto a screen. If you moved the screen, the movie would not move with it. Instead, set it to PARAMETRIC MAPPING. This will solve the problem. You may need to use a RECT LAYER to get to get the face to the proper position but once you do it will move along with the head object.

thanks for this advice, i will try this. benjamino

hello, yes, i tried this, and it worket. BUT: when i put a rectangle over the head - Sphere, it makes a very complicated form, so i can not project a rectangle map (movie) on the sphere. therefore i tried to put on an eliptical layer and this works better. but now: the layer is not showed very clear. there are lines in the showed movie, that have al ot of pixels now. what would be the best resolution (128 * 64 px and a depth of 72 dpi or something like that) to project the movie clearly in the eliptical layer. thanks for your experiences... benjamino
