Animated texture on a sphere

[jpm]

Do you have a built-in (or examples) way to map an animated texture ( such as avi or array of images) onto a 3D surface (such as a sphere) instead of a static one obtained by a code like:

Code: Select all

   if  TeeOpenGL_02.Active then With Chart_Sphere.Canvas do
      begin
      Brush.Style := bsSolid;
      Brush.Color := RGB(40, 250, 120);
      if CheckBox4.Checked then
         Pen.Style := psSolid
      else
         Pen.Style := psClear;
      Pen.Color := clBlack;
      if CheckBox3.Checked then
         Brush.Bitmap := MyBitmap_Terre1;
      Sphere(Chart_Sphere.ChartXCenter ,Chart_Sphere.ChartYCenter, 0 , 50);
      Brush.Bitmap := nil;
      end;

An application could be the evolution of clouds over the word with synchonized audio comments.
This avi would have to evoluate with time (of course!) but also to be complient with the rotation of the shere in order to be able to see all the directions.

Hi jpm,

I'm afraid this is not possible for now. I have added your request to the wish-list (bug #1341) to be considered for inclusion in future releases.
