Animated textures with video

Creating animated textures and applying them to 3D models is a great way to add special or realistic effects to 3D models you create or import into Macromedia Director.

You can create an animated texture from a Lingo generated image object at run time, and apply the texture to a 3D model in a Director movie. You can use the same process with any animated cast member, or using imaging Lingo with a series of Lingo image objects or bitmap cast members.

A good article on this process can be found at: http://www.macromedia.com/support/director/lingo/create_animated_texture/
