I'm new to Vue, I was wondering if there is any way to animate a texture/material on an alpha plane. Using a video with alpha or a sequence of image files. Any help would be great, TIA

Hi Flynn and welcome here:-) I have never tried to animate an alpha plane. But you can animate any material on a "normal" plane. Just project your first bitmap on the plane, then switch to img 2 (or 3 or 4, depends of the speed you want)of your animation and apply the next bitmap and so on. Sure you will spend much time, but it works:-). Guitta

Guitta, Thanks for your reply. I tried your suggestion and it worked for both normal plane and an alpha (FYI). But, the alpha layer didn't update like with the .tga file. Still trying! Thanks again, Flynn

Hey I got It! I was updating each material, I just need to D-click in the Main Cam window and update each frame from there, along with the alpha. Cool. Thank again!
