Projecting AVI?

Support Materials and Textures
1

I’m trying to use a projected, animated image of caustics as a lighting element in a scene. I’ve tried assigning the AVI, uncompressed movie to a spot lamp for projection, but I get no projected image, much less a moving one. Is there some instruction out there about how to set such a thing up?

there’s a ProjectUV modifier in 2.43 that I just wrote up. it’s in the wiki somewhere…http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/UVProject_Modifier is that what you are looking for?

Well, I didnt know I was looking for it, but I am now! Actually, all I needed was for someone to say, “Did you hit the “Movie” button, idiot?”

Thanks!

so, if you’re trying to project a movie, did you hit the “Movie” button? (I won’t say idiot, because we get that question about every five days in this forum).
