📋 About This Mod
The Dynamic Bloodpool Framework is a system designed to generate animated bloodpools in a fluid, stable, and fully customizable way, without using scripts or decals.
Unlike traditional solutions that rely on stacking static decals or running persistent scripts, the framework uses a dynamic mesh that adapts in real time to the surface of the terrain. The bloodpool naturally conforms to its environment and evolves continuously, without flickering or instability.
This approach removes the inherent limitations of decals, reduces performance impact, and ensures completely stable behavior, independent of the scripting engine.
The system is entirely data-driven and powered by JSON files, allowing full control over the appearance and behavior of bloodpools. This makes it possible to create an unlimited number of variations without any plugin or technical constraints.

◈ Limitations of Traditional Decals
In the base game, no animated bloodpool system exists. Modders have relied on improvised solutions using static decals. The most popular system, Enhanced Blood Textures (EBT), works by stacking multiple textures at the same location using a continuously running script.
Main limitations:
-
[]Animation fluidity is limited.[/]
[]No true size variation over time.[/]
[]The engine must manage dozens of textures for a single bloodpool, significantly impacting performance.[/]
[]The Papyrus script remains active in the background as long as the effect exists, which can cause lag, instability, and performance degradation in certain areas.[/]
In short, this method is inefficient, fragile, and visually limited.
◈ First Approach: Animated Decals
The initial idea was to directly manipulate decals in order to animate them. After developing multiple algorithms to smooth and synchronize texture updates:
-
[]The visual result was acceptable at a given moment, but[/]
[]Decals were still flickering between updates,[/]
[]And performance degraded significantly over time.[/]
The conclusion was clear: the engine is simply not designed to handle animated decals efficiently in real time.
◈ New Approach: Dynamic Mesh System
To overcome these limitations, the Dynamic Bloodpool Framework was rebuilt using a completely different approach:
