Will Sutton (many thanks) showed me how easy it was to animate materials, so now I want to use it a bunch.

I have an industrial application where the automation needs to loop seamlessly, and am using a material in the background to simulate random liquid (slightly out of focus so as not to draw attention away).

Is there a way to cause it to loop seamlessly? If it is not seamless, there will be a noticeable glitch when it loops.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

David,
Just look at the keyframes for the material shortcuts Transform values. You just need to change the last keyframes interpolation to have it continue indefinately.

Will,
Right now I have them all progressing from 0 to 50" (x,y and z), so at some point they need to reverse direction to make it back to the original location.
Start at 0 end at 0.

Thanks,
David

Maybe copy the first frame, go to the frame that is halfway, and make it how you want it, then go to the last frame, and paste the first frame. If that makes any sense.
