willwhitt56 Posted August 31, 2025 Posted August 31, 2025 Is it possible to add gifs to skyrim? I just had a crazy idea to add "moving paintings" and wanted to see if it was possible.

Beyond that, painting textures use DDS files, not GIF (or JPG or PNG). With scripting, one might rapidly swap out a series of painting canvases as separate frames, but you'd likely see flickering. 1
