Author Topic: Would it be possible to play a video on a brick?  (Read 1425 times)

As in, an addon that could play a video (even at like, 4-5 fps) on a print brick. And if not, what about support of GIFs on prints?

No gifs

Best you could do would be to event an animation with custom prints via print events frame by frame.
Even then, players would have to download each print and depending on the length of your animation, that may take some time.
