0 BFRES: Custom Texture Animations

KillzXGaming edited this page 2019-07-26 18:44:26 -04:00

Currently you can easily make custom ones from a .yaml file. These can be created and edited in any text editor of your choice.

Optionally you can export an existing one from the tool by right clicking on one, and exporting with the .yaml extension.

For this tutorial, i will simply show you how the file works, as you can simply use a template from here and edit however you like.

• Red shows the animation name.
• Below is the Path. (not needed to be set)
• The FrameCount is the total amount of frames the animation has.
• Under that is a list of materials in the animation. In green is the material name.
• Then there is TexturePatternInfos. This is where the data is stored. The name parameter, is the sampler name. _a0 for diffuse map, _n0 for normal map, _e0 for emissive map, and _s0 for specular map. Note the material must support these types! The texture list will have a sampler for the texture which can be used.
• The constant data is to always display a specified texture (put texture name where null is at), This will ignore the curve data if set.
• Then there is a keyframe list, with the frame and texture to show at that frame.

Template #1 Basics

Name: NewTextureAnimation_ftp
Path: 
Loop: false
FrameCount: 2
MaterialAnimConfigs:
  - Name: MaterialNameHere
    TexturePatternInfos:
      - Name: _a0
        IsConstant: false
        ConstantValue: null
        CurveData:
          KeyFrames:
            0: Texture1
            1: Texture2
    ParamInfos: []

Template #2 MoreMaterials!

Name: NewTextureAnimation_ftp
Path: 
Loop: false
FrameCount: 2
MaterialAnimConfigs:
  - Name: MaterialNameHere1
    TexturePatternInfos:
      - Name: _a0
        IsConstant: false
        ConstantValue: null
        CurveData:
          KeyFrames:
            0: Texture1
            1: Texture2
    ParamInfos: []
  - Name: MaterialNameHere2
    TexturePatternInfos:
      - Name: _a0
        IsConstant: false
        ConstantValue: null
        CurveData:
          KeyFrames:
            0: Texture1
            1: Texture2
    ParamInfos: []

Template #3 More texture maps!

Name: NewTextureAnimation_ftp
Path: 
Loop: false
FrameCount: 2
MaterialAnimConfigs:
  - Name: MaterialNameHere
    TexturePatternInfos:
      - Name: _a0
        IsConstant: false
        ConstantValue: null
        CurveData:
          KeyFrames:
            0: Texture1_Alb
            1: Texture2_Alb
      - Name: _n0
        IsConstant: false
        ConstantValue: null
        CurveData:
          KeyFrames:
            0: Texture1_Nrm
            1: Texture2_Nrm
      - Name: _e0
        IsConstant: false
        ConstantValue: null
        CurveData:
          KeyFrames:
            0: Texture1_Emm
            1: Texture2_Emm
    ParamInfos: []

```yaml
Template #4 Constant!
`
Name: NewTextureAnimation_ftp
Path: 
Loop: false
FrameCount: 2
MaterialAnimConfigs:
  - Name: MaterialNameHere1
    TexturePatternInfos:
      - Name: _a0
        IsConstant: true
        ConstantValue: Texture1 //Always shows on all frames
        CurveData: null
    ParamInfos: []

Once done, simply right click your animation and replace it with the yaml.

Or you can import as a new one

Note for these to work in game, you must use a material that has texture animations used! Being able to use new animations may vary depending on the game, and the way they are loaded!
