I have sequence of normal maps which are animated in sequence . were is the slot in 3ds max to play animated sequence of normal maps . i will place them on plane
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).
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.
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
