Hi guys 'n gals,
My problem is pretty self-explanatory, I’m trying to create an animated material using textures and I’m wondering if it’s possible. I’ve tried messing around in the material editor, but I’m not showing any luck.
Sorry about all these questions!
I don’t know if I’m allowed to bump, but… Bump?
Hi
It depends a bit on what you want to do. My initial suggestion would be to look into FlipBook functions:
This will allow you to animated materials by displaying a series of sub-uvs. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
Cheers!
I want to use it on the texture that covers my character model. I’m going to try out this method and reply back if it works or not! Cheers!
If you want to add an animation on top of another texture you have to blend the FlipBook result on top of the original texture. Depending on the use you have in mind you might need to mask it to apply it only on a given area of the character. It’s fairly simple, but if you are new to this I suggest you to first learn the whole system, then give it a try
