Glad you got something from it Mirek!!

You don't need to render the AVI to an image sequence to import it into Maya, if you just attach the AVI straight to the image plane on the selected camera and hit the use image sequence button in the image plane attributes tab it'll run fine. It is a very useful thing though, to be able to animate on top of your footage.

I think that you may have sent me the spaceship thing that you made, is it the one where you're sitting on a bench and gett zapped?

I'll try to get a bt more fizzing and light, it's all still so new to me I'm surprised tha I've got this far!!

Farbtopf, cheers for that, I'll definately try to incorporate the lesons from that tutorial.

Cheers again,

Mat.
