Looping in Trapcode Particular
I’ve searched for a way of doing this, but it seems the only way is to duplicate the the layer and do a fade into the start of the current one
I am surprised there is not an easy way to do this in TP. In Cinema 4d noise you just check the ‘loop’ parameter

What are you trying to loop? Almost all of Particular’s properties can be keyframed, which should let you loop them

Well they have to ‘birth’ don’t they? So you’d have to start from a few seconds in
Also the physics, ‘Twirl’ etc.. aren’t keyframes
Thanks for your reply

If I want to loop particles with Particular, I just keyframe away the particles per second. So I have a start and an end. Then I just take that clip, split it in the middle and move the clips so that the middle split part is now the beginning and end and I overlap the old beginning and end (now the middle) where the particles start and stop so that they seem to mix together.
Bam. Seamless loop.

Yes that’s what all the tutorials I’ve googled say, I was wondering if there was a simpler solution, but thanks for confirming!

Putting the random seed and all velocities to zero is an start for a simple system. Add a little bit of gravity and your animation will had a seemless loop at some point. From there you can start playing with other parameters.

hey Darren this is your lucky day, just send me a video example of what you mean by “looping” and i’ll send you a unique tutorial with a custom solution that will solve with a simple, powerful and unexpected technique, talk soon! 🔥
