Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Image sequence speed?
file3.frameExtension += 1;
if (file3.frameExtension > 9)
file3.frameExtension =1;
I wanted to know how do i go about changing the speed of the loop? i found online an expression, but it doesnt quiet work.
file3.frameExtension= floor ((frame - 1) / 3) + 1;
if (file3.frameExtension > 9)
file3.frameExtension =1;
With this expression, it does slow down the loop but it just stops.
Any help would be great
Thanks.

For example:
Code:
int $speed = 4;
if ((frame % $speed) == 0)
file3.frameExtension++;
if (file3.frameExtension > 9)
file3.frameExtension =1;
Edit: Just to explain. The higher the speed variable is, the slower it will be. For this, it will take 4 frames to increment once.

could it be the amount of time on the animation?
the animation stops @ frame 27. so.....
file3.frameExtension= floor ((frame - 1) / 3) + 1;
if (file3.frameExtension > 9)
file3.frameExtension =1;
im guessing this expression is like make each image go for 3 frames.
3 frames x 9 images = 27 total frames.
I just want it to loop after 27 frames.

I think it has to do with your computer. Try making a plane in a new scene, and see if it plays back then. Otherwise, I think you're a bit sol here mate.
