load images into matrix
Hello
A noob question: how can I load a bunch of images into matrix for a later quick use?
I have many images that i'd like to use in a scripted animation and loading them through [read]->[fpic] each time they are required is quite processor/disk heavy.
I've tried modifying matrixset help example to feed fpic into matrixset, but to no avail.
I'm really only a few days into max, so any help would be... really helpful :)
thanks
Here's one way of doing it, by reading a folder of images into a movie object & then banging them into the matrixset.
Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.
Thanks!
The main bug in my "programming" was obviously the path to the image files, which idk why has to be absolute (relative paths obviously won't work with jit.movie as they do with read->fpic).
cheers!
