Max and Maya aren't so great with animated textures. In max you have to use a IFL file, which is basically a text file that tells it play a sequence of images. Make sure your files are numbered sequentially (001, 002, 003 ect)  and then you pick the first image, check on "Sequence" and it will build a IFL file for you.

i have the file 0 -100 they are numbered correctly

the texturesa are already built .select the normal map slot and then check normal bump map slot then loaded normal map  and selected the sequence   . no sequence is playing   whats the correct procedure

Mark Dygert

If you check on sequence it should make an IFL file. I don't think they animate in the viewport, even if you press play, they used to. They seem to render fine if you output a avi, so I guess something they did to the new viewport that borked the viewport preview. (shakes fist at autodesk).

will the animated texture works as bump map . they are bump maps

hansolo

is this the correct method for normal map the ifl file update
