Talk:Procedural animated texture generation

I think there should be more images/gifs for stuff like lava, water, and fire 👁 Image

It's a bit tricky, because since they're procedural animations they never actually loop. I guess the gifs could just have like 5-10 seconds of the animation and then hard-loop back to the start though. Could use a crossfade to make it seamless, but I personally don't think that's a good idea because it might lead some people to think the animations actually looped like that in-game, which they didn't.

I do want to at least see visually how they were made so you can just add some text saying that they don't loop like that maybe? 👁 Image

Crazy idea, I wonder if it would be viable to render the actual procedural animations in the browser with HTML canvases. That would let people accurately see how they looked in-game instead of just looping gif versions. - VRadExe ^{[ talk | contribs ]} at 20:12, 2 April 2026 (UTC)
