looping noise
Hi,
I’m trying to render out a looping animation that will play in the constantly in the background of a movie. I’ve got animated noise on the difussion channel in a texture but I’m not sure how to go about setting it to a seamless loop. Does anybody know if this is possible.Thanks a mil

Not anymore afaik. It was for awhile via a plugin by Bodhinut/Cidertank/Core Arsenal, but that’s been discontinued.
If you have After Effects, Fractal Noise (or one of the other default noises) loops. If you combine this with other effects such as displacement you can get some interesting patterns.

Render out an image sequence (or a movie) of a BW noise, duplicate the images renumber the copies in a reverse order and apply the sequence to a channel.
This will not loop, but ping-pong, which may be good enough.iq

For those of you still trying to do this and come across this thread, you can set the noise speed and loop in the texture. Just set the loop to 1 = 1 second. Render a 29 frame animation (because 0 counts as a frame making 0-29 = 30 frames = 1 second). Just fyi, not ALL noise types can be looped, and you won’t realize it till you render it out since they all have a loop attribute, just trial and error.
