Is it possible to create slideshow in one wallpaper?

[kishemat]

I use over 1000 wallpapers from workshop, but I want to create my own by simple way. For example, I have 5 pictures, generally same, but with little difference. And I want them to switch, for example, every minute.
So, I have a playlist with some number of wallpapers, and they change. And for my own wallpapers I want them to change within the same wallpaper project (like a slideshow).
Is it possible? If is it, how to create it? Thanks!

If it has to be within the same project then this would be possible through scripting. Though I can imagine it would be possible as well with Timeline Animations binded to an opacity effect.

You can do what Deku Scrub described above with Scene wallpapers. Generally I think this is one of the few cases where a web-based wallpaper is better since it will handle loading multiple images much better. There is also a folder import feature for web wallpapers which does not exist on Scene wallpapers. This is a good example of this:

See the directory user property for web wallpapers here for more information:

I found a simple solution, but only for 2 wallpapers using x-ray effect with custom animation by timeline. It works like this: 20 secs loop, first 10 second x-ray size equals 0, second - equals 10. So images changes every 10 seconds, but it works only for 2 items in single project, so not the best solution.

No, that's not a good solution. In that case, you are better off using the blend effect which allows up to 6 blend textures:

We showcase this in this SceneScript-based time of day tutorial but you can also use timeline animations:

In terms of performance, it's not great though because you will have a relatively high VRAM utilization this way (depending on the wallpaper size).
