Title: TEXTURE: png sequence
Post by: PetrBartos on 2023-09-01, 10:19:07

Hello all,
 can an animated texture be uploaded into the material? PNG sequence

Thank you,

Yes and yes.

I find sequence easier to use.

And please, do you know where to import that PNG sequence? :)
I must admit I don't know. No loader pops up for me, similar to what Adobe After Effects does.

I *think* perhaps you have to use a standard bitmap texture node rather than a CoronaBitmap node?

Just select the first image (maybe tick 'sequence' in the import options?)

Apologies - just noticed this is for C4D. I'm a max user, so I might be giving completely wrong info here...

Load the image, hit the animation tab, then calculate. ;)

Thank you very much, Bengamin.
So, it's actually a standard procedure, just like with native cinema materials.
Somewhere deep in my mind, I had it hidden, but I couldn't remember it. :D

Thanks a lot for your help! :)

@aaouviz. – Makes sense as this is the C4D forum section. Not to say Corona users from either app can't help as long as it's not an app-specific issue.
