I have just gotten Maya 4.5 all i could afford at moment.
I am trying to work with avi and motion picture work.
My question is this, I wish to have an image plane be of not an image but of an actual avi so that i can then create a video scene over it incorporating the two scenes is this possible?
I know in true space it will allow me to have an avi running as the background whil i creat an animation over it. I just think maya is 100 times the program for 3d than true space hence the question.
Thanks in advance.

I hope at some point to get involved with the competitions and interaction with the group so any help on how Id appreciate
again still learning Maya here
