Greetings, Is anyone aware of an IPAS that allows the use of a QuickTime file as an animated texture map? Thanks, Scott Sorkin White Shark Systems

Scott, <<anyone aware of an IPAS that allows the use of a QuickTime file as an animated texture map?>> no, but I think there's a conversion program here in the forum that will make a flic from a quick time movie-then you cann apply the flic as a texture map -Kyle

Kyle, Thanks, I'll look for it. -Scott

Scott, oops . . .I just put my foot in my mouth 🙂 what I was thinking of was an .ixp process that will save out a quicktime movie of your video post rendering, but evidently it's a one-way faucet. you might check around in the other forums in the graphics area, or maybe there's someone out there who knows of a converter? -Kyle

Kyle, Thanks. For now I'm using Debabilizer (on the Mac) to convert the QuickTime movies into Flics to use as animated texture maps… -Scott

Your best bet would be to look for a util that will convert the QT to a series of TGA or TIF files. Off hand I can't recall any (other than AAdobe Premiere) but I'm sure I've seen some somewhere. Try GRAPHSUPPORT or some of the multimedia forums.

Terry, <<Your best bet would be to look for a util that will convert the QT to a series of TGA or TIF files.>> Debabilizer (for the Mac) will do just this. It's an extremely useful tool if you have a mac on your network. Scott Sorkin White Shark Systems

<<Yes, I had forgotten about that aspect of DeBabelizer. It is a great program (if you can figure out how to get it to do what you want). We use it to generate bitmap catalogs as well as to translate files.>> The interface is fairly Byzantine… Also, I've found that I can't batch more than about 100 files at a time, which is somewhat tedious, but I don't even want to contemplate the alternative, if there even is one.
