Animated texture with an .obj & TESR, is it possible?

[faltion]

I have a wavefront model loaded using a tileentityspecialrenderer and I would like to animate the texture. Is this even possible? I know that the tesr is rendering the model every second, so that means it is doing the same for the texture, right? I tried using a mcmeta with the texture like you'd animate a block, but it just garbles the texture, which I should have guessed would happen. Would I have to switch to a ISBRH instead, and can I even use an obj with that method?

Hi

 

You can certainly use a TESR to change the texture.  Your wavefront is rendered fresh every frame, you just need to reassign the texture before each call to the wavefront renderer.

 

this.bindTexture(myTextureForThisFrame);

 

Check out TileEntityBeaconRenderer for example.

 

Make sure you set up the textures for the different frames once and swap between them each frame, don't create a fresh one every frame or it will be unnecessarily slow..

Thanks TGG, looks like that will lead me in the right direction.
