cetihcra · April 15th, 2008

Hey all -- I'm a complete newb to 3DS/VIZ, but i'm learning. I do have two rather specific questions:

1. How can i achieve some sort of air density/particle effect from lights (Such as in http://static.flickr.com/92/245476507_d9ea1d0b8f.jpg) preferably using MR.

2. Is it possible to assign a small video clip as a material, such that it runs it's own animation while the scene is rendered? I guess it would be possible (but insanely time consuming) to alter the material in each frame, but is there an easier way?

Thanks all
