I often run into people who ask how you lot can import an animated GIF into 2d Life®.
I state immediately that importing an animated GIF directly is impossible.
What nosotros tin can do is separate the animated GIF into the frames that compose information technology and employ a script that gives movement to the various frames.
The performance is very simple, requires very few steps and the apply of a specially created tool.
Let's see how to proceed.
Offset, we choose an animated gif that has a total size of less than 10 MB.

Importing my animated gif

Now, go to Gif2Ani Tool.

Now upload your GIF/VIDEO clicking on the button in a higher place.

Information technology'southward important that the file has a dimension less than x MB.

When the GIF is imported, you tin can choose some parameters (like fps speed, for example) and see the result that yous get in the preview.

When you lot are happy with it, press "create texture and script".

Now you lot will be able to download the epitome and re-create the script.

If yous don't want to copy and paste each time the script that the tool creates for that prototype, you can just use the script you find in the Marketplace.

Ok, now, let's become to 2d Life®.

  • Create a new object, a cube, for instance (CTRL+B).
  • Create a new script within the cube content tab and paste the script the tool created for you.
  • Salvage the script.
  • Now you will be able to see that just a cube's confront is in movement; import the image with the blithe GIF's slides in SL®;
  • Put this epitome on the face in movement.
  • Done! Y'all should see your animated GIF now.
