Texture Pattern Animations

What you need

• Switch Toolbox.
• Template.

Adding Frames

Open your model file (LoungeVR.szs, LoungeFloor.szs) with Switch Toolbox.

• Double click gsys.bfres.
• Right click the Textures folder.
• Press import.

• Select all of your frames -> Open.

  

  Recommended Image Resolution

  For LoungeVR: 1280x720 or less, anything higher is going to give you less space to work with and more likely to crash.

  Max amount of Frames

  • At 1280x720 you can get about 30 frames.
  • At 1138x640 you can get about 65 frames.
    • Note: This is the recommended amount for these resolutions before EU consoles start to crash.

  You can reduce the quality/resolution of the images to get more frames but you'll have to try and see what works before the Menu starts to crash.

  • Select all textures (with the first frame selected, shift+click the last frame).

  • Change the mip count to 1.

    

  • Make sure the format is set to BC1_SRGB.

  • Click OK.

Now that you've imported your frames, you need to create the animation file.

Generating the Animation File

This step is required for your animation to work correctly.

• Choose which model is being animated.
• Set the framerate of your animation.
• Upload the animation frames.

After generating your animation file, go back to Switch ToolBox.

• Right click the Animations folder.
• Select Import -> Texture Pattern Animation.
• Open the animation file you previously generated.
