LOOPS | Blender Animation Nodes (Visual Programming for Artists)

Learn how to use loops in Animation Nodes. what's the difference between parameter type data and iterator type data, when to use them, how generator node works, how parallel loop works, how two loops share their internal data and lastly integrate logic to control the loop when it's necessary.

Man... this is still awesome even today, in 2021... thank you for share!

Wow, your video is the first one to explain the coloring of the network, how you create inputs and outputs with Invoke Subprogram, and how you can't cross connect nodes from one network to another. Bravo. With all of the other videos I've watched I guess they intuitively understand it but don't explain it with the important detail that you did. Thanks!

Powerful opening. Thinking Penguin makes me think. Thanks.

That you! Great explanation of a very confusing area. You clarified things nicely.

thanks a lot for this very good explanation, this would make an excellent reference for everyone who wants to learn AN properly.

[Nini]

Very good explanation.... Well done! Many regards :-)

Great Job! Now it is more clear. Thanks. :c)

mentioning the trainman for the invoke subprogram node made it look slightly intimidating.

[rken]

great tut!!!man this animation node is so cool what you can do with it but way too confusing for me

I think I have used loops in every one of my AN animations.

Thank you so much for your videos, they have been helping me break down this monumental word of confusion! I'm struggling with creating a node sequence that animates a typewriter style text (using trim text, time and repeat) from a list of three text objects because I can't get the text objects to iterate to the next one in the cycle as each new loop begins (which I have a trigger for by setting modulo = 1 of the frame and its repeat rate....any ideas?

You lovably instil a breath life in the bare metal.

Why does my Blender not have these node options that you have? How enter "your" mode?

[tejaschavan]

In this respect, the Grasshopper logic seems to be better - it compares data trees and will automatically make multiple instances of the Suzanne head to match all the vertices of the cube..Could that logic not be implemented in AN?
