Looping/resetting movement actor (clouds)

BasGoodboy

Hey all,

I have made clouds for the background of my scene as an actor, and made it move so I have a clean moving cloudsky.

The cloudsky is 4000pixels long, so with a movement of 30 it takes a while till it stops.. but it does stop.. and i dont want that.

Is it possible to make the cloudsky loop? I made both beginning and end of the 4000pixels picture the same so it would be perfect if it will reset exactly at the end for the loop.

Don't know if this is possible tho.

Best regards,

You should have made the clouds separate images so the would be smaller. That a lot of memory usage at that size but I would put on scene wrapping and let it loop around.

Hey mate,

How do I setup a scene wrapping, can't find much on google and there isn't a simple rule for it i noticed.

About the size of the background, we will see how it turns out.. it's a photoshopped based clouds background and the whole background is cloudy, can't put seperate clouds in it.

Edit: I see in the scene wrap X and wrap Y, but how can I set them?

Hold it, I found a movie about it:

For that loop tho, I need the picture to be just 320x480 i see..

Edit: I made the loop for X. And the cloudpicture just 320x480. It would be better if I could at least make 640x480 for a twice as long loop, but I don't think that works with the scene wrapping thing.

Thanks.

This is why it's always better to made the clouds as separate images so they can be moveable a flow more naturaly.

Ya ok. Thanks, but that won't work with my current graphics, I think I got it figured out now. Mucho gracias.
