[1.12.2] Binding animated texture to GlStateManager

[DavidM]

I've create animated textures for items and blocks with .mcmeta files.

However, I would like to apply an animated texture to a sphere rendered with lwjgl.

Is it possible to bind animated textures to GlStateManager?

mcmeta files are for defining animations within the texture atlas, it doesn't do anything for textures not belonging to a texture atlas, aka normal textures.

So the short answer is no, it isn't possible.

The long answer would be you can make the object appear to have animated textures by binding a different texture based on some kind of counter, like a current frame field.

Depending on the way you render the sphere you could also change the UV values to shift to the next frame

Thanks.

I am currently rendering my sphere with callList: https://github.com/DanielHeEGG/RapidOxidation/blob/507cb3bdb5e0fca20c3308ec6fa8a47b3a94de32/src/main/java/com/daniel_egg/rapidoxidation/util/RenderUtil.java#L20-L29

Is it possible to apply UV then?

(AFAIK no?)

With the way you have it setup - no, it isn't possible to apply UV changes by editing vertex data.

It is still possible with a custom shader if you are willing to go that way(although I wouldn't recommend that). The best way would be to bind different textures based on the frame.
