No more support for animated-texture.js? Workaround?

[gnormanlippert]

I’ve been away for a few months and am embarking now on a big new project and finding a lot of changes have been implemented. Currently, I am trying to use a tiled texture to create animated fire with “animated-texture.js” (I did this in previous projects to good effect) but it doesn’t seem to work, and the sample tutorial for that effect seems to be removed.

Does that technique no longer work? What’s the workaround?

I suspect its related to this API change (but I have not checked the project).

Material parameter uniform names have changed since 1.46.0

This has affected a few projects that have used the parameter names on materials. Since 1.46.0, we have started to add support for texture rotation in the transforms. In order to do this, we had to change the parameter/uniform names to support a bigger transform. What used to be: this.meshInstance.setParameter('texture_emissiveMapTransform', this.transform); Where the transform was a 4 value array that represents the width, height, offsetx, offsety has now changed to be two uniforms of 3 val…

If yes, than the project might need to be updated to use this changed API

Here’s a version of the older tutorial that’s been updated to use the new uniforms: https://playcanvas.com/editor/project/867092
