Podcast Topic Request

One question I see pop up here and there is how to create a seemless loop. Usually from something that doesn't always lend itself to looping.

How about a podcast on how to plan for and create seemless loops. Using some samples from Particle Illusion and other plugins would be great.

I'll think about that.

I did cover this with regard to fractal noise, BTW.

Yeah, and using the evolution, I've had no problems creating loopable animations from fractal noise.

The problem is creating it with things that don't inherently support looping like output from Partical Illusion or plugins like Zaxworks 3DFlag and Digital Anarchy Psunami.

Sometimes you can get the plugins into a rythm and clip out a part in the middle, but not all the time.

I'd really love to learn how to properly blend the end of a segment with the beginning in a crossfade to make it appear seemless. I just can't seem to get it right.

Shameless plug here - there's a tutorial on particleIllusion Fusion (my Creative Cow Master Series DVD, covering using particleIllusion and AE) on looping particleIllusion effects. It follows some basic principles for looping in general.

You can find the DVD at http://www.pillusionfusion.com/

Eventually, I will probably do a tutorial on looping.

I noticed the redesign of the headers for the site and decided to click the DVDs link to see if there was anything new and found the link to your pillusion site.

Your disk is on the wishlist right after Deans. I'm delivering a project in the next week or two and I'm going on a spending spree. :)

Elvis's disc is truly rockin' - no question there. It will teach you everything about pIllusion that you need to know.
