Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

movie file as an opacity map in maya08'
basically my idea is to have a face appear in smoke and start speaking...
I would like to use a movie file of some sort to portray a moving image as an opacity map. but click the transperency tab>file> only lets you do .iff and other image files.
any ideas/ alternate approaches would be helpful
i hope i'm not being vague lol
thanks

as far as I can tell
you CAN use a 2d texture>movie as a color map
you CANNOT use 2d texture>movie as a transparency map
I have tried fiddling with the opacity PP in the particle array attributes. but I find it a bit overwhelming and i feel in over my head.
if you can help i'd appreciate it
