Image Sequence
Sep 23rd, 2008, 8:44am  
I'm looking for a way to play back an image sequence.

Is there a way to load the entire sequence into memory first?

My end use is playing PNGs with alphas as textures on geometry.

Thank you all for your comments.

Something like this ?

http://processing.org/learning/topics/sequential.html

or:

http://processing.org/learning/topics/animatedsprite.html

Then i guess you can simply use the image as texture.

I discovered that a quicktime can contain PNGs with aplhas.  In processing the alpha channel is applied by masking the movie with itself.

I like how this works.  Its nice and neat; you only need to render one QT with 4 channels and add one more line of code to get the aplha channel rendered in Processing.

I used GlGraphics to grab frames from the movie and place them into a texture.  I then bound those textures to my geometry.

I'll post some code when I get home.
