What is the recommended method of animating a texture on a 3D model. Should i just make multiple textures like for sprites?

You could use shaders?

Why would you use an animated gif when it has bad quality?

depends what it's for, if it's something basic like a tv screen then using a decal fixed to the object would work fine, if it's for something more complex then you're going to need a shader.

You could actually have an MP4 written to a texture & use that for HD quality animated textures on 3D models.

Use a atlas texture and shift the UV coordinates by the size of one tile in your atlas with SetObjectMeshUVOffset()
Beware you need to set SetImageWrapU/V() mode too.
AGK uses a shader for that in the background, like pretty much every engine

Animating a plane here, but I think the principle is the same:
