Hi. I searched the whole forum and couldn’t find an answer to my question. Is it realistic to play different animation frames on instances? I also need to be able to stop/play an animation of only 1 instance ---

I guess you are finding [Baked Texture Animations | Babylon.js Documentation](https://doc.babylonjs.com/features/featuresDeepDive/animation/baked_texture_animations)? ---

Yes, I saw that. But I would like to consider options on cpu ---

It’s not supported, you will need to use baked texture animations if you want to support different animations for instances. ---

Can you tell me if I have to convert my .glb to .babylon for VAT? ---

No, you don’t have to. Once the meshes are loaded, you can follow the examples [from the doc](https://doc.babylonjs.com/features/featuresDeepDive/animation/baked_texture_animations) to generate and use VAT. ---

I actually created a POC some time ago: > **[Babylon.js Playground](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#3PVNQ1%239)** > > Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL 3D scenes It let’s you\* play different animations on instances, as well as allows you do move, scale and rotate bones dynamically. My arachnid is a bad test case as it has 110 bones(loads of helpers from Max’ IK) It’s only a very basic POC and could probably do with quite a bit of rewriting. For instance, meshes not in the camera’s frustum are still calculated. I just did a quick test using the VAT shader
