I’m sure this is blatently obvious, but how do you display “animated” images on a plane. Something like renderTexture, what I want to do is display my HUD on flat planes. I am hoping not to have to use camera renders as my game is already a FPS hog… Perhaps there is some way to put a GUI texture on a image plane??? :?
Just use a texture atlas to effect the animation.
A number of robust solutions have already been built by the Iphone folks, where 3d animation and the stock GUI are a bit of a strain on the small device.
I was hoping for something that was not dependent on cycling animations. I wanted to paste something like GUI elements on a texture and place them on a plane. Ideally it would be something with sliders that change with a variable, but that wont take up too many resources. I’m trying to get all my GUI elements pasted onto planes, much like the renderTexture effect but without the fps drop.

Any way to do this without a huge fps drop? :?
in realtime only through a shader which will likely be pretty complex and requires unity pro (render textures so you can combine all in 1 texture)
your best way to go are really the two present gui systems or alternatively GUIX
