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...

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

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

[javasquid]

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!

I’m making a solar system and your “add modifiers” tip was exactly what I needed. Thank you, Duckman! Mercury looks super cool now.

Your honesty about being a slave was so refreshing.
I ONLY stayed due to your honesty :)

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

"now if you can hear my upstairs neighbors moving my entire house" 😭

love you man thanks so much for bringing this tutorial.

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

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. 🎀

Man ending this year with so many banger tutorials 🔥🔥🔥

Hey ducky thank you for your content. I'm a beginner and I've already completed one tutorial of u. Thanks!

[Spamkromite]

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 ✌

Love the content brotha!! I appreciate all the tutorials

"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 😂

MY WHEELS TURN CONSTANTLY NOW thank you for this video you've helped me greatly

[licnex]

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

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!
