Posts: 126 		Is it possible to import a video onto a characters face or body? Something like this perhaps -


(Or the recent David Bowie video, also created by Tony Oursler?)

Thank you.

Posts: 126 		Thank you Ziggy. I cant seem to load an avi file though - what might I be doing wrong?
And how do I use the spotlight for projecting? (Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong...?)

Cheers!

Posts: 1988 		I just tried it, and realised I should expand a bit - when you use Face Mask, you select Photo face mask, then click on the default photo (G Dubbya Bush) and select your AVI. That should do it - as to which codec of AVI is best, refer to every other forum thread addressing that one...

Posts: 126 		Thanks again. Does it have to be G Dubbya? Can you not project onto the paper bag face mask?
I dont want to see G Dubby's face anywhere, especially in my animation

Posts: 1988 		Eh, no, not quite what I meant... In the face mask options, one of them is called Photo Face Mask. When you select that, you get the default photo (GWBush) already on it. To change it, click on it in the properties bit and select your AVI instead. I was in no way intending anyone put Bush anywhere near anything ever

I'm assuming you cant upload an avi to the paper bag facemask?
