Slight delay when changing texture on next keyframe

[ItzMichaelPhillips 7]

I use textures to animate parts of faces on my models. When a keyframe has a different texture from the last one, it takes a few milliseconds for the texture to change. In one old version I used to use primarily (1.1.4), the change would be instantaneous.

This delay isn't a big deal when working on the scene, but when exporting at 24fps, the texture doesn't change for an entire frame. It becomes more obvious when position and rotation change, too.

Here's an example render. Pay attention to the lightning bolt character's eyes and eyebrows, and notice how the textures change one frame after they move (and ignore the unfinished run cycles on the other characters).

If it helps, the texture type is Skin. That's the only one Modelbench would allow me to use.

EDIT: Totally forgot to say what version I'm on. Sorry about that. I'm using 2.0 Pre-release 2.
EDIT 2: Just upgraded to Pre-release 3, and the bug is still present.

Upgraded

I upgraded to Pre-release 4, and this bug is still there. Here's more of the animation to further demonstrate my problem.

Notice how at 0:21, right as the shot changes, the leftmost character's face has a different expression for one frame.
 

 

I'm willing to privately share the project with a developer if they ask for it.

Hi, please PM me the project.

this issue has also been happening to me as well, it bothers me because my animations use a stop motion style that requires skin textures for facial expressions.

@Cryptic Runner My animation style is the same way, and I face this problem for the same reasons.

@david Okay, check your DMs.

Thanks, this will be fixed in 2.0 Pre-release 5.

Thank you so much!
