hi all,

i created a 100x100 grid, then tried to modify the Cd attributes.
so the plan is i will use an animation (image sequence) as a map to modify the Cd attribute.
i created a vex geometry operator and inside this VEX i used a colormap node.
with this colormap nodes i try to fetch the image seq files, but the problem is this
colormap node cannot handle image seq (the error message : cannot have channel that depends on time),
so i cannot use format like : imagename.$F4.jpg.

so if i want the image sequence is applied to the cd attribute, how to do it?

thanx.

Any file path parameter should be exposed as a parameter. ie. create a Parameter VOP for it. So then in the SHOP that you create out of your VOP network, put in your imagename.$F4.tiff

PS. It's a very bad idea to render to .jpg directly because it's a lossy compression.
