Gif textures?

Simple question, can a GIF be assigned as a texture in order to have something animate?

 

I don’t think so no. But you can have multiple frames as separate photo files and write a script to switch between them all

 

Is there a max image size limit that beamng will accept? lining up all the frames for the image sequence makes it a bit big

 

Basically how the Brake Glow mod works, except it is attached to the temperature of the brakes with a script.

 

I believe so, I remember seeing a video posted to community screenshots a while ago of an animated prop ingame of a few people fighting. I have no idea how this works or would be done though

 

Definitely possible, if you have a lot of time on your hands basically anything is possible There has been a post of someone who showed an airplane animation a while ago, made with a Blender animation (!)

The Bell 407 chopper has lua controlled motion blur effects on its rotors too. The lua in this case applies too materials.switches

Oh and by the way :

Yes this can be done too. As videos work on textures so do gifs too. I have done this experiment before.

 

Really? So how would I do that? Is it just like selecting an image but with a gif?

 

No, it's more like using the ETK center screen for example. They are html textures. You can replace them by gifs in the html file of the screen
