    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, you can also 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
Script info

Due to the way menu animations work, only values that are divisors of 60 are available for Frame By Frame.
