animated texure not supported?

[litma]

Is there a way to use animated textures? avi files or jpg sequence?

[fixeighted]

No, it's unsupported at the moment.
You will need to comp them, which is easy enough.
I imagine they will figure out a way to include this in a future release

Is there a way of animating textures? Like I see I can't export animated texture offset or if I animate phase in noise settings. I want to have animated waves. I'll try animating mesh next.

[fixeighted]

It doesn't handle anything other than basic transform animation unfortunately.
No way to animate textures either, unless it is an animated uvw modifier (have not actually tested but should work), which might work for you here.

[Crayox13]

Do you mean I animate (move) UVW? I tried that and it didn't work.

[fixeighted]

That's a shame...I just had a feeling but yes, nothing works. I'm sure it will come at some point.
It's odd that nobody from support commented earlier but maybe they're still on holiday.

In any case, if you absolutely must have the water animating then you could render that the usual way and comp it

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay but as fixeighted guessed correctly most of us were on holiday . Now back on topic, animated textures are currently not supported but they are planned (no ETA for now).

Best regards,
Alexander
