I am quite new to attempting animation in Poser 4 with pro pack. Do any of you know if it is possible to add textures during a string of animations? In other words - if I have a simple shape (box, ball, etc.) and I wish to have the texture change a number of times, throughout the animated sequence - is this possible? Any assistance or direction toward tutorials with this subject would be greatly appreciated.

the materials dialog window has a checkbox called "animateable" , which allows you to set keyframes for all the various texture attributes except texture maps. you can't switch any external maps during an animation. you'd have to edit together separate clips to create that effect.

rdhceo,I just noticed this post (I am not on this forum much, obviously) and I guess you might benefit from a python script that Ockham put together and that I later modified (ruined? hah!)...

I never really did it justice, but it is a close call.. This version lets you animate TRANSPARENCY maps, not TEXTURE maps, but it might be at least the general direction of what you are looking for? Seek more in the Poser Python forum perhaps..
