ANIMATED TEXTURES
Using Animated Textures (Animations)
Animated Textures are found in folder 248 of the Media folder. They are similar to the Animated Gobos in the Models
folder, but are controlled differently and cannot have a texture (movie, still image, etc.) applied to them. Each animated
texture has white areas and transparent areas. The white areas can be colored using the RGB controls on the layer.
The layer’s movie playback controls are retasked to set the parameters for the animation – speed, direction, etc.
Playback Controls:
+ In Point – thickness of objects (lines, rays, etc.). A value of 0 gives a default thickness.
+ Out Point - number of objects. A value of 65535 gives a default number of objects.
+ PlaySpeed - speed and direction control. A value of 127 equals no movement.
+ Frame Blending - decay. A value of 0 equals no decay, 255 is full decay.
+ PlayMode – see chart below.
 For a complete channel map, refer to "Play Mode" on page 158.
