Question for Unity Pro Users

[AaronC]

Do you use the MovieTexture feature much for things like FX? Can and do you ever load up a lot of movie clips onto quads in the scene for things like water splashing or fire effects? I have a lot of original video clips that I’ve been converting into animated tileUV layout, and am wondering if the movieclips that that came from would be just as useful or even preferable?

Thanks

No, I would not use a movie texture for that, constantly updating and uploading the texture seems like a big performance drain.

Really bad performance. I would avoid them where possible.

Cheers for that!
