For example; if I wanted to make a TV that actually has a small video running inside of it. And if this IS possible, can I also use the same technique to apply a video as a bump map? n/a

For the main map, you just have to bring up the Material editor (press 'M') and then have your material's Diffuse colour as a Bitmap, and then for the map file, just use your video file. If you want to use it for a bump map, do the same, but under Bump Map instead of Diffuse Colour, obviously. You can piss around with the speed of the video at the bottomr of the material editor, a tab that says 'Time.' Edited by the Author.

If u go close to the tv it looks real with the small - color dots - Eternal Life, Or Your Money Back - http://www.befun.dk/ Currently looking for a home (team)
