I am just wondering if using a spot light I could use it like a movie projector. If poser lights act like most real world lights It should be possible right?

Theory is this

  • have an open ended box with a spot light set to 300% intensity
  • have a plane with an image set at 50% transparency at the end of boc
  • have a plane about 50 poser settings away from the box

This should create A either a shadow on the plane or B an image that looks like a movie right?

Might work. But you should definitely try translucency on the "film" at the end of the box.

What I am going on that is using a gray scale image of the original file (see image here) as the transaprency. I figure a gray scale image would be better than just a B&W image.

Why not just use your image as a gel on the spotlight, either a still image or a movie file.

ny, ye'll be surprised at what happens when you apply an image map to the
diffuse channel of some lites in poser.  it's not really intuitive IMVHO.
