Creating a texture array from a GIF

• Install the UnityTexture2DArrayImportPipeline (opens in a new tab).
  • This is very important if you want your texture array to be imported properly on Android (Quest), most other tools will not re-import the proper format for Android and cause more VRAM usage.
• Use FFmpeg to create PNGs from a GIF ffmpeg -i your_file.gif -vsync 0 frame%d.png.
• Import the created PNGs in Unity and add them to a new texture array Create > Texture2DArray (You can lock the inspector and drag them all in at once).
• You can use texture arrays with the Lit Variants/Screen shader
