VaM 1.x Animating tattoos

[Turboturtle]

Title says it all. Working though an idea and was wondering, is there any way to have tattoos on a person that can move?

You would need to create it as a shader material in unity and then port it over to Vam. I think as a clothing material or something.

You could apply the tattoos with Decal Maker, then in Timeline under targets there's a section for "storables". If you find Decal Maker under there you can add the "params" like "texTransX" and "texTransY" to move it around.

If you're hoping to translate them on only two axis, good luck with that
Because the UVs are not a single island, and not oriented in the same way, so you'd likely end up with the tattoo getting cut or moving in unexpected ways. You could eventually do a up/down motion easily on the belly/chest, or eventually arms/legs... but that would be pretty much the extent of it.

Anything more complex needs a custom shader.
