Mplay Background image seq

Recommended Posts

Hi , I seem to be having some real problems with the work flow for this. I can load an image sequence into the view port via cops in the camera view port , but if you want to render the said background sequence , you have to via Mplay load the said background sequence into mplay. What ever I try Mplay will only load and render the first frame of the background , yet I am rendering frame 117 !! and selcting to load a sequence.

What is the best work flow to make this work

I haven't tried this in a while...but...

You should be able to use an sequence in Mplay as a background image - just make sure you specify a filename with a $F in the name. Perhaps MPlay has a bug that's evaluating out the $F too early, ie, in the File Requestor?

I assume you're using a recent Houdini build?
