3D Model Animation Limits

[DynamiteKaitorn]

Is there a limit on how many frames of animation a model can have? Or does it follow the standard animation system a-la DECORATE style?

This. I believe you can have as many frames as you want as long as they are defined.

There's a setup in Membrane where don used like, more than one sprite name to define like, 50 animations, and I don't think he even had those sprites in the PK3.  He just replaced them all with a model animation. (he uses bone animation and converts it automatically, so he likes to animate at 30 FPS or higher)

 

That's the kind of thing you can get away with.

 

Go nuts! :3

BAM.  That's it.

 

The new model format likely won't have a limit on the number of animations or keyframes.
