Hey man I tried this last night.. you cant get animated textures onto models as far as I know... you can only get animated textures on particle systems and ribbons... if im wrong im sorry, but in the art tools there are no options for animated textures on models.... hope that helps -DB |

How about the billboards? He typed in the billboard at the correct place, but it was tretarded. See the peasent plane on the townhall? and the peasents with only a shadow? |

I've heard about these ideas, it's the basics of almost all 2d games. Ill look into it when I'm not meant to be writing a computer program in class but in the comfort of my home:ggani: I'll get back to ya if I find anything. If I don't reply again it means that I'm too busy or can't even be arsed |
