Chaos Corona for 3ds Max > [Max] I need help!

How can I create a loop of timelapsed clouds with Corona 11...?

(1/1)

Luke:
Just wondering how I would go about creating a 10sec loop of timelapsed clouds using the corona sun/sky...?

is this possible?

many thanks.

TomG:
It's not possible, sorry. You would need to use an HDR animation sequence that loops, if there is such a thing.

dzintas:
The only way would be ping pong style animation, but those look weird.
Depending on what you need, you can animate phase value and loop footage itself in video editing software of your choice.
It's not true loop cause you blend beginning and end with opacity, and if you need clouds that move a lot it won't work either. 

If you're doing timelapse, you maybe can animate amount of clouds. That way you could go from clear to cloudy sky, and back to clear.

TomG:
That's not a bad idea, going from clear to cloudy to clear - I'd recommend being sure to animate the Density Scaling parameter for that (either on its own, or alongside an animated Amount parameter), so that they build from and recede to thin clouds rather than just the amount of clouds.

Luke:
Thanks for the tips! :)
