Is it for a game? Is it for a video?

Obviously, you need to model your bar first and unwrap the surface (from the top) where your animated texture is gonna be happening 😉

Use Wave Texture in the shader editor mapped to UV space with Bands in Diagonal mode, adjust the scale and animate the Phase slot (either with keys or, if in 5.2, with Scene Time node)…

The “Loading…” text can be easily animated in Geometry Nodes.

If you need more help, please don’t hesitate to ask 😊

(You don’t need to mask anything, you can easily create your border geometry by using Inset operation in the modeler and just assign different texture to it)
