Hello!

I’m new to 8th Wall and looking for advice on how to handle texture animation from Blender to 8th Wall.

In Blender, I animate an plane’s UVs to map to different parts of a texture atlas. However, when I export the scene as a .glb file, the UV animation doesn’t carry over.

Is there a good strategy or workflow to retain or recreate these texture changes in 8th Wall after importing the .glb file?

Thanks for your help!

Hi @Antoinette_Bumatay-C texture animations from Blender are not compatable to web. You would need to do this via code dynamically.

Here are some examples of texture offset animations.

> Illustrates how to animate texture offset on both a primitive and 3d model

or another option is using a video as a texture too

> This project applies video textures to imported glb models.

What exactly does the UV animaiton look like in Blender? More info would be helpful.

It’s essentially an image of a mouth changing on a plane, timed to an audio track to give the illusion of speaking.

I’m going to try the video method. Thanks for the resources!
