Project image sequence onto geo??? Feb. 14, 2017, 1:48 p.m.

When I load the image sequence into the texture, I get this error:

mantra: Unable to load texture ‘SClients/Somnium/Plates/2D/Plates/1_Ship/Event_Version 1_0001_0001/PJG/cockpit_01_00000001.jpg’

Project image sequence onto geo??? Feb. 9, 2017, 12:40 p.m.

So I have my space ship flying through space and now I need to add my live action plate to the inside of the spaceship.

I guess I need to place a grid inside the ship, just behind the slightly transparent windows of the ship. I know how to add a still image to the grid, but how do I project an image sequence to the grid?

Or if this is not the correct way to do this, what would be a better alternative?

Many thanks in advance.

Principal Shader Error Jan. 10, 2017, 11:50 a.m.

Through further investigation, I found that one of the boxes in the Principal Shader was wired into the wrong port.

The Principalshader1 ‘F’ port was plugged into the ‘Layer’ port of computelighting1. I removed this and put it as an input to the ‘F’ port and it all then worked.

Why would the system wire these incorrectly?

I'm using a HP Z840, with Intel E5-2620 v3 @ 2.4GHz, 64 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX980 Ti card.
