Little doubt about sprite in maya

[ratamahatta_01]

Hello guys!

I'm creating a simple crowd using sprites in Maya, but i'm having a doubt here.
I want to know how to write an expression for importing different tiff sequences for each sprite, bcoz i'm only having 1 sequence here and i dont know how to randomize it (i only have one guy, and i want different ones).

Is is a simple things, can you guys help me?

thanks in advance!

I think you mean "question", not "doubt".

The simplest way to accomplish what you want is to use more than one particle shape with one emitter.

I think its what google translate gives for several languages, atleast certainly for mandarin. Just observing I'm getting a lot of support mail from China and Taiwan, at work, And this is exactly what I get. Thing is MOST mails look like they came straight out of google translate. Most questions get mangled to oblivion by a google translate -> Google translate cycle.

Makes the answering of questions a bit hard, not to mention the culture gap. I mean they can not stage a test for the life of them, not that that's very prevalent in the western world either, after all asking is cheap. But theres something highly worrying about people that need a permission to do something, but then at the same time fail to understand copyright entirely and effortlessly screw that at the same time. Its like they are upside down to what we think.

Makes for a great source of innovative new thinking for me tough.

And means that companies can get the same amount of artwork done at a third of the price...
Truth be told, outsourcing work shouldn't be a problem if the outsource team has a knowlegeable and capable manager leading them that can filter out these quibbles before they become problems...
