UV Texture Animation Problem

[M_K (Matthias)]

When I create and export the animation, everything is fine. If I restart my Unity project, the animation is not exported and I get the error message.
I want to create a “treadmill” with the UV animation.

Hi Matthias,

The issue you’re encountering with UV texture animation not being exported when restarting your Unity project could be related to several factors. Here are some steps and considerations to help troubleshoot and fix the problem:

1. Export Settings: Ensure that you are using the correct export settings for your animation and that all necessary textures are included. Sometimes, specific textures may not be marked for export.

2. Animation Components: Verify that your UV animation is set up correctly in Unity. Check the animation curves and ensure you are animating the right properties of the material.

3. Material References: Ensure that the materials used in the treadmill model are referenced correctly. An unlinked or improperly set up material might lead to export issues.

4. Asset Management: Ensure that all your assets are properly saved and managed within Unity. Sometimes, unreferenced assets may not be included in the export.

5. Check Console for Errors: Open the developer console in Unity (Window → General → Console) and check for any warnings or errors related to the export process. This can provide hints about what is failing.

6. Re-import Textures: Sometimes, a refresh is necessary. Try re-importing the textures involved in the UV animation by right-clicking the texture asset in the Project pane and selecting “Reimport”.

7. Needle Engine Logs: The logs might have additional information about the export process. If you still encounter issues, consider checking the logs or console for specific error messages related to the export.

In case you’ve recently updated the Needle Engine, please restart the local development server and see if it resolves the issue (see the documentation).

If the problem persists, could you provide specific error messages or additional context about how your UV animation is set up?

Feel free to ask further questions or share more details for better assistance!

Can you disable the filtering and show errors/warnings before that message?

…I see what you’re getting at…

OK, I found it and am testing it out right away. The tiling was not animated.
