Just an experiment. Character Creator and iClone support animated textures. I created this popVideo (basically a .mov) file and applied to his arm in the Base Color and Glow slots. Small texture size (less than 1mb). Lots of potential. The base texture (broken circuitry) is just a hand-painted test and is not as clear as it could be.
The character I used is based on Makar Malicki's concept bust for Frankenstein's monster, which I extrapolated for an upcoming character pack.
