[Bf-funboard] Particle UV animation

[Janne Karhu]

Hi Hendrik,

yes this is possible for billboard particles. What you need to do is use  
the uv-split options under the particle billboard options. The only  
restriction is that the texture must be split into equal number of parts  
in the x and y direction. Here's a nice video tutorial by Hannu Hoffrén on  
the functionality http://vimeo.com/1412840. Although the tutorial is for  
pre 2.5 Blender the functionality should be pretty much identical.
