At around 6:00 when you're trying to get it to loop seamlessly, to do it insert a first keyframe with the Value of the Add node set to 0. Move along in the timeline and add another keyframe to the Value of the Add node and type (0.3333*pi)/$scale (but replace $scale with whatever the Scale of the Wave texture is)

Great, but how do we actually animate it?
@zackmercurys4 жыл бұрын
1. put your play-head to the first frame 2. make sure the node that contains the value you want to animate is selected. 3. put your cursor over the value you want to animate 4. hit I 5. put your play-head to the last frame 6. change the value 7. put your cursor over the value 8. hit I 9. select all keyframes on the timeline 10. hit T and choose linear interpolation

if you are still interested : How to add the color change as shown at the start of the video ? Since this is not shown in this tutorial, here is a solution : [[xxx]] means Nodes name [xxx] means names off (in) or (out) Values [[Texture Coordinate]] - plug [UV] out to 1st [Value] of [[Multiply]] - plug [Value] out to [Vector] of [[Gradient Texture]] - plug [Color] out to [H] of [[Combine HSV]] - plug [Color] out to [Color] of his [[Emission]] shader You can change the second value of the [[Multiply]] Node to have different colors or Bonus : To add a random value on the [[Multiply]] you can attach a [[Value]] (located on Input / Value) and change the field to #noise.random()

Hello! Could you please specify what didn’t work for you about this in Cycles? What exactly related to this video do you want to make in geometry nodes?
@fadifadi-ug5cp4 жыл бұрын
Why I don't get the same results using Cycles engine?
@zackmercurys4 жыл бұрын
Let's see... Cycles doesn't have bloom, so you have to do it manually in compositing. You might want to increase transparency bounces in light paths If you fix all that, it should work.

That’s an interesting idea, I’m not sure its possible with just a single curve with a shader, you’d probably need to duplicate it, add a solidify modifier to the outer tube and so on, you get the idea
