terry.whittingham Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Hi I am creating a environment where I have a large crowd. I have rendered the crowd into a tga image sequence There are two many frames to split this up onto and atlas page Does Unigine support playback of image sequences? If so how do I go about it If not, what suggestions are there to get this kind of effect? Many thanks Regards T
unclebob Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Hello there, Terry! Long time no see! How's the things are going in Veros Digital? We don't have built-in support for image sequence playback, so you have to merge all the images into one long image and then just animate texture coordinates in the widget.
terry.whittingham Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 Hi Im good thanks and things are going well, apologies but I dont recognise the picture and name "unclebob" :) have we worked together? Thanks for the reply, ok that doesnt sound like a feasable option, for the example the width of the image is 512, and has 40 frames so the texture would be huge. Is video support with alpha an option? if so how would I go about doing this Thanks for your time Regards
unclebob Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Terry, I helped your colleague Angus, he's working at Veros too or at least he worked there when I was helping him. Unfortunately, we don't have alpha support for video, so in your case I recommend you to render all the crowd with the background to one video and use bunch of WidgetSprite for any static foreground images. I'll be able to suggest more if you tell me details about your project.

unclebob Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Hi Wenxin, WidgetSprite was created in order to load single or layered image once and render it in an optimal way. Why don't you want to use WidgetSpriteVideo and pass your video file to that widget?
