Thanks for that Harvey - worked a treat. I was trying to save out a
tga sequence because that's the only way of getting an image with
alpha out of ParticleIllusionSE. Converted it to a QT .mov in the
render room, since I believe that's the only video format with
embedded alpha support, and then imported it with no problems. Looks
a treat, too - now that SeattleMickey's sorted out the particle
sprite issue, this was the last barrier to getting fast-rendering,
good-looking particle effects. Now if Akuro can just get Particloid
finished we'll have flocking and deflection behaviour too...
