This means that the animations can only be 20fps, but can be as long as the minecraft day itself, so 20 minutes long, and still weigh as much as a 1 second long animated model, not because the 20 minutes model is really compressed, but because the 1 second long animation is huge and has the 20 frames of a single second repeated 12000 times to get to 24000 frames, or 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>### You seriously copy-pasted 20 frames 12000 times?<br \/>\nNo i had a python script do that for me.<\/p>\n<p>### Was it even worth it?<br \/>\nFor this pack specifically? No, not now, anyone could do the same in less time by just putting all the frames in the same model and have an animated texture switch between all the elements. But in the future? For bigger animation? definitely yes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turns the totem of undying into a little 3D potato friend&#8230; that is animated!
