I get a slight chuckle when a creator clearly starts what he's saying over again with the intent of going back and editing, but never going back and editing :D
Haha it happens a lot
You left out the old ping ponging cheat. Fades, crossfades, and distractions are also ways of getting an illusion of a loop when footage just has too much going on. Making complex loops with many elements is satisfying to pull off, like a perfect tiling texture. Sometimes you have to think about the elements as a polyrhythm, doing the math to see where the everything lands on the 1 again. But using the cyclic extrapolation mode makes that math irrelevant. I love that feature. It comes in handy for all sorts of things. Thanks for another year of quality posts Ducky! I'm using some of your textures right now btw...
Great tip
Genuinely enjoy all your content, man. Currently learning Maya now but your blender texture tutorials and motion graphics taught me more than any teacher so far :D
I’m making a solar system and your “add modifiers” tip was exactly what I needed. Thank you, Duckman! Mercury looks super cool now.
Even for Blender beginners like myself, your tutorials are very concise and approachable. Scooped up the real time textures with the discount code. Thank you!
Happy holidays!
Thank you man!
Love the content brotha!! I appreciate all the tutorials
"now if you can hear my upstairs neighbors moving my entire house" 😭
love you man thanks so much for bringing this tutorial.
Absolute gem of a tutorial!!
Your honesty about being a slave was so refreshing.
I ONLY stayed due to your honesty :)
Thanks dude!
I can't believe it took this long to watch this video. lol. I have been wanting to see this since you first posted it. Great video Ducky 3D
0:47 i love how honest this guy is.
Found you today and I'm amazed at the wealth of information you have in store 🧐
I'm trying to loop an idle animation for a character while the animation for the camera takes more frames than the idle animation for the character. I'll keep searching but you got a new sub anyway ✌
Man ending this year with so many banger tutorials 🔥🔥🔥
Heck yea
One more question.... I have a geometry node setup for buzzing fireflies but the one piece no tutorial shows or has is the light coming on and off randomly. I thought maybe I could animate the emission strength but then when I animate my ORIGINAL MESH, then ALL the instances on points start to come on and off at the same time. I wonder what I could do so that my animation isn't a static turning off and on of the emission strength but it's driven by a code that says turn on after X time, stay on for 2 seconds, turn off. If I could figure that out for the original firefly object, then since it's inherently random, it would be random for each instance? I'm just not sure cuz I tried to find the RANDOM NUMBER node inside the shader window and it was not available in a search. ??? So... I'm not smart enough to figure this one out. help? help a bruthah? hehe I want those fireflies to actually GLOW then stop for a time. That's actually what they do so....
thank you so much for these tutorials, man you are a savior
Haha thanks!
Perfect ❤
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
this is gold - thanks Ducky
Thanks man
Great, Pato!
Hi Ducky 3D, just discovered that you can also loop your W by connecting a Rotate euler node to it and animate the X 0 to 360 degrees, but Y and Z will probably work just as good
Hey ducky thank you for your content. I'm a beginner and I've already completed one tutorial of u. Thanks!
I’m glad to help man!
Thanks!
Thank you for this tutorial, very useful, you are awesome!
Thank you
Thank you 3D Duck... I will now watch your whole video.
Thanx for sharing. Useful and interesting like always. 🖖😉
I’m glad you like it
Gems. Thank you always
Thank you!
Sure, nothing new, but this is super helpful to have all of these strategies on one location! Thanks for putting this together (and for sharing the project file)! Any suggestions for looping "volume"? I've been using your "volume smoke" trick (basically putting a noise and color ramp into a Principle Volume node), but have noticed it can cause visible jump when looping scenes.
Love your channel, have spent a ton of time learning from you!
Do the noise texture trick I showed in the first example
On point.
Thanks
MY WHEELS TURN CONSTANTLY NOW thank you for this video you've helped me greatly
"there's always new viewers to the channel." thanks for remembering us noobs :D
I made a comment on an older video of yours, and have really enjoyed following/making several projects here. What I haven’t been able to find is how to set/program animation actions to music timing. Baking curves is cool, but it isn’t music timing, so it sort of works but it’s tedious and way to granular when you already know the music timing for example and want to animate numerous parameters, for example from geo nodes. Cycles is also cool, but no music ever runs on video frame timing, so the cycle either falls behind or moves ahead and you end up reverting to manual envelopes. So looping is cool, but would be even cooler matched to music timing, without tediously tweaking Graph Editor;). Yeah I’m asking for a feature in Blender that does what Ableton Live does;). This would totally eliminate all the tunnels, duplicate instances, etc…which seems redundant coming from DAW land. If this could be procedural in geo nodes, you could for example simply create a 4 bar loop, enter BPM in a field, enter number of repetitions of your loop, and Rock and roll… c’mon ducky…help a brother out 😂
Btw, this guy made a clock in geonodes, so it appears there is a way to calculate time, vs frames, which means there is likely a way to make key frames that correspond to time, and thus music timing. Maybe someone else’s geonode expertise and math wizardry can leverage this into kicking this loop thing into overdrive;)
You don't need to open up the graph editor. Just select all the keyframes in the timeline, press Shift + E and choose "make cyclic". 😊 Merry christmas. 🎀
Oh awesome thank you!
Very nice, Thank you.
Right on! Very helpful. I like the fix for keeping speed for a longer time. Is there a way to keep the speed for a shorter time? When I do 360 over 240 seconds my animation is pretty dizzying so I have to go out to 480, but that's double the render time. Not a huge problem, but if there's any ideas I'd appreciate it!
I havea question for tip 2: couldn’t you also use an array modfier with a fixed distance and apply it to every other object in the scene?
💖
It would be cool if there was a seamless loop using particle system, is that hard to do?
Can you create a tutorial video that uses one of these methods for the plasma material that you created in another video?
Man I truly love your tutorials but you got to make some tutorials about rigging I litterly checked your whole channel for any and found none. Please Man your the first who's Tutorials I understand
where i can find thise material 0:04 ? Thx for your tutorials ^-^
Ducky 3d aka Eevee king 👑
YESS!! nobody does Eevee these days and if they do, they don't do it well!!
@@AmoghBandekar I have an older video card so Cycles renders can take days! It's awesome to be able to do these in Eevee and have them look amazing!
@@qbrd2611 I don't even have a card! Rendering a 300 frame animation in Cycles took 6 days!
How can you make fluid simulations go seamlessly? Like water in a washing machine that is endelessly working
how can we wiggle animate a bar chart graph?
Still stayed to watch the whole video regardless of the 5th option 🤘🏻😌
Can you export this animation as a gltf file? Or if you transfer its animation for keyframes to the timeline is possible this animation in gltf?
my problem.... I am so new that I don't know what Blender can and cannot do. What I want to do is animate INTERNALLY, completely apart from the main animation timeline. ? IOW, I want an OBJECT to have an animation that loops and if my MAIN timeline goes on for 2000 frames, the OBJECT will sit there animating until frame 2000, doing it's thing. THAT is what I need to understand and most vids just pull up TIMELINE and I don't understand if that is THE timeline or just a timeline bound to THAT particular object or property. Thank you! Maybe 15:00 is what I'm wanting? The animation UIs are very confusing to me. I cannot tell what keyframes are what and where. Thanks.
Tip 5 is kicking my butt. I am trying to animate the W of a noise texture for a scene I created from geometry nodes, but I don't see Euler in the dope sheet.
Why starting with first keyframe at 0? Should it not be frame 1?
How do you slow down the animation for the 360 degrees method without increasing the frame count?
Increasing the frame count is the only way to slow down a single 360° rotation… as far as I am aware
How can I loop an already made amelic scene?
Hello Ducky , I am am really struggling with exporting my Animations in Blender 3.4.1. I don't know what I'm doing wrong , I can play the animation within Blender and all looks good , but I when I come to hit "Render Animation" it only renders the 1st frame and I've checked all my Output Settings. Please Please Please if someone could help me. I'm on a Mac Studio M1 Ultra fully specd. I can upload a view from my Desktop Computer if someone can help me . TIA TIA
Did I miss something or did I only see 4 ways to do loop animations? Thank you for the tips...
You can make a video on how to make motion design on a weak computer.
Use the eevee render engine
Not letting me download the project files, not sure if bad link or just me.
I have a blade that has a glowing effect, but the loop is so abrupt, like its a very slow gif...
Davinci Resolve has a really nice isolator for your mic. I can barely hear your neighbors, but let's say the cops are coming for you and you want to keep going to the very end without us hearing the sirens.
The thumbnail (polyfjord)
OK, like in first minute.
Thanks!
do u have a course for total beginners?
Yes check it out in the description
@@TheDucky3D I'm leaning heavily on doing your course... with it help me create explainer videos as well ?
@@clyntonmann1725 no I don’t really cover anything about explainer videos in the course
perfect loop is 0 >1>0 if 0>1>0.1 some may note some may not .
@cgmatter don't fugg with Al Gore's dancin'
I wish I knew what you mean lol
Shhhhhhiiiii I wish I was a slave to the algorithm I have no idea what to post also am very dumb
the concept of perfect loop is cool but doesn't make sense cause the technology, I mean... Loop is made mainly for reasons of economy, but doesn't work cause the even present buffering in every players and most on the web video players. Once I made a perfect linear loop of a so long project and I was so proud to have do it but after the release the damn buffering wasted all the magic. If I had known it was a problem, I would have made a very long video with many loops attached to each other, so the "economy" factor would have been lost but at least I would have seen that freeze only very few times...
I post loops to instagram and twitter with no buffer problems
@@TheDucky3D also with audio?
I am 😋😋
What do you use the shitty nodes there for? I still haven't understood what that gay noes garbage has to do with animation.
