Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

How do I make a ocean loop?

Hi there
Could someone please help me.
I would like a simple way to make a ocean loop for 50 frames. I found one example where you have to combine two or three oceans and then use a lot of coding. Could not understand it.
All I want is to make a ocean loop. Surely there must be a easy way.
Look forward to your ideas.
Thanks
Tiaka

Think he means that the animation is loopable ie the start frame andthe end frame of the animation are the same.

Request an ocean loop

Thanks for your interest
Yes thats right the start and end frames are the same. I have tried to copy the first frame and then paste as the last frame but it doesn' seem to work. The ocean still jumps at the last frame.
Would there be any other 3d programms which be able to loop an ocean.
I would have thought it would be a popular request really.

Are you using your graph editor? This is what you need to look at in order to copy and paste key frames. Don't go by the timeline on the bottom.
