Maya tutorial: An animated texture
Written by Danny McNezmo
To make animated backgrounds or textures could become very frustrating if you don’t know what formats of the image sequence Maya is supporting. It is not just in Maya where you can find this kind of problem with image sequences. For example Adobe Premiere has very similar difficulties when the names and numbering of images are not properly done. So make sure your image sequence name is prepared properly before it is used in Maya or Premiere.

- short-wave (i.e. the blue colour zone)
- spectrum centre (green colour zone)
- long-wave (red colour zone)
