mapping a movie or live video as texture for a .obj model

Hi,
I am just starting to work with models and have been able to import .objs from blender just fine,, maped textures to them
but cannot seem to find where one can control the wraping
of the image.. I would like to be able to place image in specific part of model.. have tried jit.rota etc to image but doesn't control the placement of the texture on the model.. only the texture in matrix.
tried help in jit.gl.texture and got message that my hardware didn't support some of the messages (867 g4)
Thanks,
Phyllis

don't know who posted this (probably wes), but it should get you started with texture placement on 3d objects.

Thanks so much.. funny I have been using my 867 desktop to work things out then transfer to my pb ppc ..seems jit.gl.texture has elements that don't work with the 867 graphics card & are fine on the powerbook.. so dugh finally realized & I got the patch to work with(mapping)the animated models I'm experimenting with on the PB.. I just got a new intel pb but am waiting til the leopard issue is sorted out & I imagine M5 will have other features to help.. I,m doing well considering my non tech history & do appreciate you digging up the patch for me.
best,
P
