How can I map a simple quicktime movie on a polygon?

Thanx.

Uli

You'll have to extract still frames from the movie first. Houdini can only write movies, not read them.

You can use QuickTime Pro (on Win/OSX) or perhaps mplayer (using a JPG output device) in linux.

Good luck,
Jason

Thanks Jason,

… but how do I map a image sequence on a polygon, i.e. modeling a TV set and show a image sequence in it?

Thanks so much.

Uli

if your sequence is name tvseq.0001.jpg …
then the name for Houdini will be tvseq.$F4.jpg

But houdini will detect image sequences if you select them throught the file dialog and place the correct expression.

$F = current frame number
$F4 is current frame number padded to 4 digits.
$F3 … 3 digits

Thanks so much, Georg.
