i needed a specific outline of a mesh to emit on an object, i created uv texture coords, and mapped a emit map. it works and looks great.
however… (and here is the problem)
i want that the emit path by the texture map, pulsates, is there anyway to animate the pulsating with the ipo curves?
i looked but coulnt find anything , there is an emit channel, but only for the material, and the material doesnt and shouldnt emit, only along the parts for the texture-hence i mapped emit onto it but couldnt find a control.
you want to animate your emit texture pulsating, not the emit property of the material?
you can put ipo keys on textures, but I don’t know if that will give you the effect you want. It looks like editing the texr/g/b curves of the material ipo would though
i relized something, if i want to have the textuer pulsing, i would have to have an avi file (since the grayscale determines the emit value!) but when i tried to add a video into blender as a texture, nothing happened:S lol ill continue to work on it
