This is an example of how iPi animations can used on video billboards, or video planes inside some 3D animation programs.
It is just a quick sample, animation was recorded directly from iPi Studio viewport using a free screen recorder and the dark green view port color, light green would have removed better though, but it turned out fairly well for this test.
I could have exported the animation to another editor first, cleaned it up more, then re-imported back to iPi Studio, or I could have just added a green screen plane behind the dancer in another program to get same effect, this was just done all through iPi Studio and green screen removal in a fast video editing program, keeping the process as simple as possible.
This is very useful in scenes for background imaging and places where animation is needed in the distance and full 3D isn't needed to achieve the same effects.

This is a video on a billboard, not a 3D character animation, and will keep the weight of any scene down immensely, can be done with many different animations and all be applied to different areas of a scene.
The use of a billboard plane allows the video to always remain facing the camera even when scene cameras are rotated, but a video plane can also be used for a singular direct camera view.
