Daz Anyone here tried to do frame by frame animation with 3D renders in Renpy?

I am not talking about smooth animation ppl make using timelines in 3d softwares but using Still Renders and making pseudo-animation in renpy.

Why? Animations are made by rendering each frame out separately before merging them together into an animation. You need the still renders for each frame to make an animation. I dont see a reason to try something weird in Renpy instead of the usual way.

I used to do this with my animations back when I used RPG Maker, though I don't really see the point. The file size will be bigger in general if you had all frames added in.

Though simple code such as:


image image_name:
animation
"images/animation_frame_1.webp"
pause 0.03
"images/animation_frame_2.webp"
pause 0.03
repeat

Would do the trick.

I meant without the interpolation part since animating in daz is a headache.

IIRC, "Depraved Awakening" did exactly that for most of its animations. Separate renders that are shown pretty much like stop-motion:

Yes, I do this for multiple reasons.

How is your workflow in general?
