Hi.
I have been trying to loop a smoke simulation but wherever I set the play start frame the loop always runs from the start of my simulation to the end. Am I misunderstanding the idea behind this? I am expecting a loop starting from a point that I want to specify. Is this not the case? Does loop simply mean looping throughout the entire animation timeline but using the specified set of frames?
I am trying to use and existing set of aur frames. Ideally what I want to achieve is run the sim from smoke starting at zero and rising. Then the smoke continues looping for a long period of time (~5000 frames). Then I would like to end with a third section which is the first section in reverse (is this possible?).
I have searched all tutorials and looked at the YouTube tutorial page but cannot find a tutorial on looping simulations. Do any exist?
Many thanks,
Terry
