Hi! How do i texture animated meshes? I can not use EntityTexture beacuse it doesn't show the texture while my animation plays. Thanks in advance!

you should try textureing the entity before you make the animations for it(useing your modeling tool) then when you animate it the texture is set on all the animations

How are you making your meshes - in code or in a modeling program. Entitytexture can be used regardless of whether the entity is animating or not.

i'm using a .3ds model from the net and setting the texture for it by calling Entitytexture. But when i play the mesh's animation. the texture wont show.

Does the texture show when it's static. I mean, if you load the mesh, and not animate it, does the texture show?
