Can't run animation on a projection texture.

Hi guys. Hope someone can help me out. I'm doing this projector simulation onto a transparent net cloth and I wanted to project an animation on to it. I've went to the node editor > imagetexture > shader > tried putting (jpeg) mov. file and a image sequence like it says in the user data > animation tab > Mode : Simple > Timing : Exact frame > Movie End Frame : 90 > Movie frame rate : 25.

The animation is not refreshing. I've tried putting a object tag and nothing. Can't figure out what's going on. Also in the shader tab I can't upload image sequence as it says in the user data question mark tab. I always have to upload a container of some sort. I didn't try other video codecs though.

Here's some link of some snaps of the process I described above.

Could somebody point me out what could be a problem? Do you guys have had any problem of this kind or tried this feature recently?

Thanks in advance

Can you check this scene and compare with you?

I tried it and still nothing. Also tried putting my animation on the imagetexture. Nothing happend.

Here's some visual details of that scene:

That's how it appear to me on the node editor. I changed the file to my mov. to experiment with your configs. Even though they seem default.

Does it work for you?

Check out the other materials in scene. And the one it says with imagetexture. The preview slows speed as if its processing something but nothing show. refreshed it various times.

EDIT:

Got it working with a regular c4d material in the octane preview. But not as a octane material. I need it to have an emission node onto it for my work though.

check it out:

Why don't you put a image sequence as in sample scene? You should set ranges in as in sample and should work immediately. I don't advice to use mov/mpg/etc..

Found the problem! Was in the search path of the image sequence. Was copying by default the first image to another directory. :roll:

Thanks for the help!

And sorry for the inconvenience.
