Simon Edmondson Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I was trying to get a decal to scroll up over the surface of a flat model in the chor but couldn't manage it. Does anyone know of a way to do it ? I should perhaps explain further that, as part of a project at college, someone else designed a Logo which I then made in AM ( its a stylised H ). the intion was to then have some text scroll up the right column of the H within the chor so it could be rendered out as a mov file. Tried to changed the Y values of the decal over 5 seconds but it didn't seem to work that way ? Two related questions, Initially I tried to use a cookie cutter map to project light through a flat, so it would come out on the sufrace of the H but had trouble with that ? In 3D studio ( all those years ago ) it was possible to put a map, or mov, file onto a light so it would act as a projector. Is that possible in AM ?

Fuchur Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Decal-stamps are not animateable as far as I know... but a projection-map-material could do the job. Yes, A:M has light-images... just drag and drop an image on the light in the chor or in an action. See you *Fuchur* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largento Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 What about making the scroll as a movie and then applying the movie sequence? Shouldn't that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Edmondson Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Gerald, Mark Thank you for your replies. I will try both methods later. regards simon Ps couldn't get projecting light to work so went for scrolling movie as decal. Bit of a rush so not very refined as yet.
