Re: [cgkit-user] video as a texture

[Samuel P. <sfp...@gm...>]

Hey Matthias,

I'm using the OpenGL material, so setting the imagename property would be a great way to go - I'm a little unsure of how to change the parameter after instantiation, though... I thought of maybe using a ValueTable and image paths, but something like ValueTable(type = "string") didn't work. I feel like I'm missing something basic about how to animate properties beyond using the few basic classes provided for that end (Expression, ValueTable...).

Thanks,
Sam
