Looping flag with cloth dynamics
- [Instructor] Welcome to Motion Graphics Weekly where you up your mo graph knowledge one week at a time. I'm EJ Hassenfratz. Let's get our learn on. In this week's video I'm going to introduce you to motion tracks and how you can use them to blend between object states to loop cloth or dynamic simulations. So, I have this flag element that's basically just a plane, let me just rename this flag, and we have our cloth dynamics on this piece of geometry, and with the cloth dynamics working and some points pinned you can see these forces are distorting and treating this plane as if it were a flag blowing in the wind. To get this to loop you can see that as this goes to the end of the animation it's just going to snap back to the original point at the start of the animation here, so it just pops right back to this flat state. So, to get this to loop nicely what we need to do is give the cloth simulation a little bit of pre-roll and what we can do is actually store the state of the…
