Video Texture without background - Sketchup

Dora Azevedo · Jan 12th 2021

Hello guys,

I am trying to add a video texture on a glass surface (like a transparent LED TV).

Imagine that I modelled an object on sketchup and I rendered a video showing this object and now I want to apply this video texture on a glass panel, but I don`t want to see a white or black background from enscape, I want to see just the object itself moving (because it is a video) on the glass surface. is it possible?

Thank you

I am also curious about this, is it possible to have a transparent background on a video of a waterfall, water blast, or fire? Would be a really useful tool to give life to an environment. Thanks for the post Dora, sorry I don't have the answer.

Finn did an amazing job with some hologram effects

You can check the video he posted here at the forum:

Enscape for sketchup┃Cyberpunk

I think that is the key, but I am still trying to figure out how to do that...

I understood he combined the video texture with a cut out mask, but how do I save a MP4 video with a cut out mask?

As per another thread on the forum, videos in Enscape don't support alpha channels yet. Its a feature I wish they would add asap to better utilize the new video texture feature. No word on whether its coming in a near future update.

Any idea on when video textures will support alpha maps, even its just albedo it would be helpful for doing fires and transparent shop windows.

thanks

I wish I had more information to share at the moment, but I do not for now - I've still forwarded this accordingly to be brought into discussion again. +4 upvotes to the topic as well, thank you all!
