Great effect and thanks for the walkthrough! Really enjoyed the copy -> polyloft -> extrude -> texture and the pattern -> transform -> limit techniques. Subscribed.

[@FactorySettings]

Cool, you're welcome! Especially the limit technique is very overlooked, I've seen so many cumbersome ways dealing with this 'infinite' effect.

[@roberterdos]

cool tutorial, thanks a lot. I've recently noticed that there's a dropdown menu in the input tab of the transform chop which inverses the input channel automagicly. It saves a bit of time and removes the need of a math chop chain.

[@FactorySettings]

Still a mystery to me that new transformCHOP, but nice one, thanks!

[@roberterdos]

Factory Settings well, thanks for solving the mistery of the polyloft sop for me, anyway 🤩

I followed the tutorial, all the way to the 10:15 part, and picture did not shown it self within the frame(in your tutorial it's black frame, and in my project it is white color), I repeated each and every step 3 times over, but with no avail. I am a beginner - and don't really understand all of this operators and their respective roles. I did my best to it, and that is that - Will become patreon in order to have your .TOX and to compare the two networks along. I work with 64bit build 2022.26590 if it means anything to you. Have subscribed, and liked this video doe :)

Hi! Thank you for your comment. Difficult to tell where you got stuck. The .toe file is on the $10 and up tier, but you can always email me for help, patreons have an advantage, the're first in line, but most of the time I will try to answer everyone's questions.

[@HarisCupina]

@@FactorySettings I got stuck at 10:15sec within a video. Have followed each and every step you have went trough, tripple checked it. Thank you for pointing me to $10 and up Tier patronage, once I start working again, and generate income, you will hear from me. I am so so thankfull, that you are sharing your knowledge with the world 🥰
