Hello,
I’ve been asked to animate a series of paper documents stacking on top of each other…getting higher and higher. Easy enough right? The problem is that there are 400+ individual docs (that I know of) which will need to be mapped onto 400+ indivual planes. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to automate the application of the texture map to the planes…maybe by using a script or something.
any other ideas would help too.
thanks

Dear god jesus I just may have the solution 
I did a set of commercials a while back where we needed to do a flipbook with a different diffuse map on each object. I wrote a script to do this which basically uses the names of objects and bitmap filenames to work correctly. You’ll find it and some instructions up at http://www.joconnell.com/view\_stuff.php?view=9
awesome! i’ll give it a shot.
since theres about 450 pages i thank you 450 times
cheers
