(Solved) PNG sequence in Blender?

tushantin · October 6, 2010, 1:51pm

Not sure if it’s doable, but any tricks or method’s just fine with me. I know we can use a video for a texture, but is there a method to import PNG sequence to Blender? I ask this because I want to preserve the quality and alpha.

I mean both in Video Sequencer and as a movable object.

Hello tushantin
for video editing, look here in the wiki.blender:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:Manual/Sequencer/Usage

Add Movie and Image (Stills or Sequences)

First, let’s add a clip:

* A movie clip in the Audio-Video Interleaved format (*.avi file)
* A movie clip in the Apple QuickTime format (*.mov)
* A single still image to be repeated for a number of frames (*.jpg, *.png, etc.)
* A numbered sequence of images (*-0001.jpg, *-0002.jpg, *-0003.jpg, etc, [b]of any image format[/b])
* One or more images from a directory
* A Scene in your .blend file.

Sorry for the delay, I have not had time to use your pictures. I’ll do it today or tomorrow

Hmm that’s strange… I tried the same thing with Blender 2.54 and was unable to import the entire sequence. Anyway, how do I apply image sequence as a texture to a plane, though? That is, one sequence per frame as a texture?

And no problem! I’ll be drawing some environment art till then. XD

EDIT: Nevermind, got it. Simply select “Movie/Sequence” where you specify the source.
