Randomly and Continuously Change Avatar's Face Texture

[Karla]

I would like to make a Sequence that Waits 2-6sec., Randomly changes the texture on the avatar's face, and Repeats.

Based on the post
http://www.worldviz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=776
the texture needs to be set to repeating mode.

Otherwise, the face is blacked out.

See attached files and code.

Thanks,
Karla
