Scrolling decal

[Simon Edmondson]

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 ?

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

What about making the scroll as a movie and then applying the movie sequence? Shouldn't that work?

Thank you for your replies. I will try both methods later.

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.

Here is s sample PRJ that shows a rotoscope on a light being projected by the light beam onto an object
