does BeamNG support gifs on skins?

just thought of this and was wondering. animated flames would be wicked

 

Unfortunately, no. I already tried and it just stays on the first frame

 

that's unfortunate. maybe needs some scripts with it

 

Possibly. Not sure though :S

 

aPNG then?

 

GIFs/CSS code in HTML work (see the onboard navigator, or the ETK dash computer). Animated GIFs as textures don't.

 

It is possible, Narwhal did it once: Link
I'm working on this concept myself.

 

It's not exactly a GIF texture, but you can have dynamic materials mapped to a vehicle's body:

Proof of concept

 

Nice, but how do I do it?

 

I setup a material that was similar to the etk800 nav screen. When I applied that material to the walls of the camper, It turned into a giant screen. I’m working on a way to loop a custom gif as a texture. I'll probably create a tutorial when I'm done.
