Image File List Control: MAJOR HEADACHE!

Anonymous — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:58:57 GMT

Wondering if someone can shine a light for me,

I had to install my 3DS Max program into my new laptop due to the fact that my old one crashed, now when I upload a car file I was working on, my planes were white so I figured that I might as well re-map my planes...

But the problem comes up when I open up the image, a "Image File List Control" dialog box pops up, creates a IFL. file and puts that one image on all of my planes!!! How do I get this to stop, little help please.

Thanks.

Moved here because
a) You posted in the website support forum, not one for Max
b) You didn't tell us which version of Max

Please put your Max version (and brief system specs) in your sig - saves any confusion.

Zip the scene and post it here (attach it to your reply). An IFL is simply a list of image files - like an .avi but without the wrapper. You will only see one frame unless you move the time slider. I would simply create a new material and apply it to the planes.

Is Sequence checked in the Select Bitmap Image File box? Turn it off.
If the files are named the same with a sequential numeric sufix, they may be mistaken for an anim sequence.
