Animatable Textures

[alienfx]

hello brainboxes!

Wondered if any of you guys can help me. I am working on an animation in XSI 4.2 for my second year student negotiated project. I need to animate an egg cracking and then breaking open. I am stumped on how to do this. My tutor has suggested we use an animatable texture but I have no idea how to do this. Can anyone point me to a tutorial or help me themselves?

Any information would be much appreciated
Thanks

Hey Rob,

You could try adding a moving clip to the material, or you could animate the material per frame, or instead of a animated texture - what about a shatter script (Just google).
