Hi I have just got the book 3D-studio Special Effects And I am Stumped. Maybe you can Help! Me I have 3ds4 and Animator 1.3. In the book special effects, Effects 9 Laser-Burnin I have tried making a Opacity map flic like the project file for this effect in ani-pro First i make a gif file of the text in 3ds4, them I go to ani-pro I set the value to opaque, set pallette to gray scale them back to the home panel. There I start painting the text, frame bye frame and apply ink to each frame Then I save it as a Flic. Go back to 3ds4 and use the Text-flc. Map in the Materials Editor and it does not cover all of the text. in the model, the Author of this project is Martin Foster OF ANIMATRIX. PLEASE HELP I need Details on how to make this map and have it work THANKYOU J.J.
