To optimize GIFs for use with this package, follow these rules:
- Keep GIFs small (less than 1MB) with low frame counts (10-30 frames) and lower resolutions (e.g., 256x256 or smaller)
- Simplify settings by reducing the color palette (e.g., 256 colors) and using a lower frame rate (10-15 FPS)
- Use Unity tweaks such as compressing textures, disabling mipmaps, and sticking to power-of-two dimensions (e.g., 128x128) for efficiency - Technical Details:
- - Add the GIFPlayer.cs script to your mesh or model with a SpriteRenderer or MeshRenderer component
- Use only valid GIF files
- Set the GIF file path correctly
- Ensure playback settings meet game requirements
- The player will not work with invalid or corrupted GIF files; only correctly formatted GIFs should be used
- Check that the editor frame rate is not equal to the gameplay frame rate; use optimized GIFs - Continue ยป
