Animated unity splash screen in gif

Hi all,

for the splash screen in unity app displayed while loading, is it possible to have an animation, with an animated gif?
if not is there another way
any comment welcomed

From what I understand, this is not possible. You can run an animation first thing, though, once the app loads. So design your menus system accordingly and remember, folks want to get to the action as soon as possible. Double loading screens are best avoided.

thanks for your feedback
but an animated gif is just a specialkind of image, it is a static object
sure it doesnt work?

GIF are not supported at all.
Game engine wise, GIFs are traditionally not images, but movies because for gif animations to work there needs to be an independent manager in place that reads and handles the timing as provided.

“image animation” game engine wise normally means image strips + UV animations with no image integrated time data etc

In this case it has nothing to do with unity at all. Default.png is an iOS thing and you can only provide pngs there, no gif, no movie no nothing

too bad…
thank you both for the tip…

IF U Have images ready after displaying 1 image , u can go on but it can only be done after loading is complete
