I have heard of dropping a video into the bump channel to create an anmation of, say, wind blowing a wheat field. I have mapped videos onto projection screens and computer monitors in my animations, but I have found a weird quirk: for some reason I have to re-load the video file into the shader, and reset the animation points, (when does it start, how long should it run, etc.) every time I shut down Carrara. I haven't the slightest clue as to why, but this means I can't render from the batch queue, but have to render from the open file. But when I do this it looks great! If anyone wants to go to my site, and check out how it's worked for me, your welcome to. All I ask is an honest critique. :>
