.avi files in AutoCAD

Camen · September 17th, 2003

Does anyone know how to attach an .avi file to a surface in AutoCAD or Accurender? For example, when rendering a sceen with a TV or computer monitor, I would like to have these things appear to be on. I'm sure 3DS has this capability but my 30 day trial version just ran out. Any thoughts?

Hmmm.. short of selectively capturing frames of the .avi and applying them as seperate materials in each frame, I can't think of anything else you can do... Sorry, but I'm limited in my knowledge of Accurender, been away from it for a year or 2....

Thanks for responding. In 97 I took a 4 month SoftImage course and I remembered on of the other students doing that with a TV. How do you do it in 3DS?

in 3ds you just apply the avi into the diffuse slot of the material.
