How do Iplace an animated sky

[Sketchrender]

A simple question, which i don't know.

I have taken video footage of a lapse sky.

How do i place it on to a plate in Max vray set up?

 

Thank you

if i understand you correctly you wanted to use your footage that you've filmed in your animation... There is couple of ways of doing it...:

 

1. Go to Views, then click on viewport background and then go and select your video wherever you've placed it.. Problem with that is that essentially you cannot manipulate your video in any way and the only time you would use it if you camera is static... Still not an ideal solution

 

2. Dumping your video into your material and the mapping onto a plane which gives you many more options of manipulation and adjustments

 

3. Green screen in your video and putting the video in post production. Technically the best option but involves lots more work and much more technical..

 

Hope that helps...

Thank you.

Is there also a way of placing an aniamted quicktime movie on to a plane, i saw it done years ago, but have never done it with vray set up.

 

Thanks again.

It's better to use frames rather than a movie file I think. Go to Utilities on your command panel then choose IFL Manager and create an Image File List for your frames. Now you can drop this file into a map slot just as you would a bitmap.
