i assume you mean texturing 3D objects with a movie?
pretty simple, create a named texture, send a matrix to that texture, and set the @texture attribute of the 3D object. basic example below.

in the future, please provide the text of your patcher, not an image.

Hi Chris,

Did you get a reply on this from anyone – I’m looking for more or less the same answer?

Thanx

Hi Bea…

I have posted a patch with a more definitive explanation of what I’d like to do as a different topic. I only asked here as well to try and expand my options of getting a solution. This is the link from the address bar if this works…..

Hi Chris…

If you follow the thread of my query above you may find the answer you seek. Beatriz, MIB, Scatlogic & Llumen were extremely helpful on this so if this answers your query a nod to those people wouldn’t go amiss.

All the best

You can easily play a movie or any other matrix in the background of all your gl stuff by using the draw_pixels message to jit.gl.render.
Here’s a quick and dirty example:
