[New] : Non-linear TV Animation Mod with Proxies Programming Showcase (the animation depends on the player position and the player view)

Hello everyone =), today, I'm releasing, with the help of TOG | K1CHWA, a very special mod that contains "never seen before" elements.
This project started as a way to use the PlayerView proxy (that can tell if you're looking at a thing or not) and ended up being this : a non-linear TV mod.

This mod replaces the TV Animations with the famous scene from "The Ring" where the girl (Samara) comes out of the well at the end of the movie, and finally "out of the TV".
What's special with this mod is that it features non-linear animation that I programmed using Material Proxies (at that point, where I used more than 40 proxies, we can really say that this is "programming").
In concreto, it means that :
➤ You have to go close to the TV and look at it for the animation to start (for Samara to get out of the well)
➤ As long as you keep staring at the TV, the animation will deploy and will then end up in a "loop" of Samara walking
➤ As soon as you look away, everything resets and you have to do the whole process again to start the animation.

This mod, besides being a very cool and spooky TV Mod, aims to show that it's possible to code entire programs in textures files themselves (that will work on online servers). Operators such as "if (and/or/>/==) else", "while" and timers are allowed with a little bit of creativity.
For the curious ones, you can reverse engineer the mod and look at the code to see how it works ;) (or bits of it).

Enjoy that unique TV Mod and feel free to go on K1CHWA's Workshop for other cool TV mods ;).

328 frames of Animation from the movie "The Ring" (the scene where the girl comes out of the TV)
All TVs now glow in dark and display the footage
Non-linear animation (!) : You'll have to look and be close to the TV to start the animation of her going out of the well. And keep looking for the animation to "stay".

Literally the best tv mod on here. For those of you who are crazy like me there does seem to be a chance that she'll come out of the tv as well :p well done with the mod!

Fantastic work! genuinely terrifying, as someone who loves spicing up my left 4 dead experience with horror mods. i love the details of it restarting when you look away creating the allusion that shes aware of you!
