MP4 Video files as self illuminating textures

[H_923874]

Hello everyone,

I would like to know how to setup a mp4 video correctly in the self-illumination slot of a material. I read that node materials are not supportet and with classic materials you have to do the workaround with the VRayC4DBake shader.
This works kind of ok but I'm rendering with OCIO Correction so the colors are not correct. The Pixels Type drop down settings doesn't help.

Hope someone already found a solution.

Thank you and best regards

In addition - I would like to avoid the VRayC4DBake shader because it is not supported by the render farm.

I found a quite simple solution and tought it might help someone with the same issue. Just convert the mp4 to a jpg sequence. Than you can use it in a node material.
The OCIO issue is solved and you dont need the VRayC4DBake shader.
