Poser 4 does not support animated materials or textures. However if you would like to check out this weeks freebie at my site you can see how I have apparently been able to overcome this and give my fairy iridescent wings.

The Poser4 Pro Pack does support animated materials, but not texture maps.

No it is not possible to have animated textures.

DDmwm: What's with the attached link? Is this an inside joke or something? ;-) -Tim

bugger!!!!! back to the drawing boared thanks guys - bArE fOoT gEn -

looks like an animated square with a movie on it.... poser? 8 )

A square was used and yes it was Poser. I have to use the server space so here is a GIF, I would post the file but it's a complicated beastie.

Okay, normally I would just do this in After Effects or Premeire or something, but I must admit I am MORE THAN CURIOUS to know how in the heck you did it in POSER?? At firstI thought maybe I missed out on a feature all these years --- being able to choose AVIs as a texture map, but I tried and it doesn't work. (Now THAT would br great!) So how'd you do it? Since even with the Pro Pack you can only change the colors, not the texture map ... so even the idea of using individual image files would not work. I'm baffled. -Tim

That was fun figuring out how to animate the square. See the later thread...

Uh-huh ... so nobody still knows. I'll post on the new thread my thoughts. Thanks for the link.
