General Forums Blender and CG Discussions

Hi

is it possible to animate the UV unwrapping?

We have a case were we need to move a and scale a texture and would like to do it though the UV coordinates.

I think you can only keyframe the UV mapped textures position and scale through the texture mapping settings.

I do not know any other software doing it as well since well technically speaking in 3d CG you do not animate the UV coordinates.

In this particular interface project we are working on it actually could come in handy because the device render engine we use does
not support animating the texture nor does it support blend masks as a texture.

Otherwise we could just animate the mask texture.

Here you go, use with care
