Animated tattoo

[6milsy9]

Any ideas on how to make an animated tattoo (You can check out "This is wrong" store, they create such) ? It can't be an applier, it should be an object obviously, but I have no idea how it should be scripted.

It would be created the same way as any other animated texture.

Either a script ("applier") sets the tattoo texture to an extra mesh layer on the body and calls llSetTextureAnim, or a script continuously applies different textures to the body. The latter is much more resource heavy, but offers better resolution than a single animated texture.

Cool! Someone could do the Rorschach character's mask from Watchmen!

Turns out it won't work that way...the object should be somehow rigged because of the different bodies.
