The "Link Time" and "Duration" specify that the section from 5s to 8s in the children layers will be looped. Interpolation can be a bit confusing sometimes, so you better read this about waypoints.Īnd suppose that the Time Loop layer is applied over an existing animation. Without it, "Duration" will be smoothly interpolated from value you set to the EOT and the constant type will just set immediately at the waypoint. It's a standard Synfig's behavior, but there's a magical button somewhere that can change it.Ĭonverting current waypoint to the constant. If you skip this step, then at the next waypoint "Duration" parameter will be restored to the value before current waypoint. And EOT means it'll continue to play your animation to the end of the time. If you set it to 0f, then the whole animation will stop, because you try to play it from 0f ( "local time") to 0f ( "Duration"). It's done to prevent unnecessary parameters to be animated, e.g. So when you attempt to change such parameter in animation mode it just changes the usual way. 'Green guy' ( ) - Static Parameters - is a guard that says "You shall not pass!" to the animation. Pay attention, that loop will always break at the very first frame of you animation, so you need to break it in the right place. And one after current, this one have to be removed (right-click on it -> Remove).
One is current, we convert it to the "constant" (right-click on it -> Both -> Constant).
One before the current, we left it as it is. In the time loop parameters, set 'Duration' to "EOT" (End-of-Time).
On the timeline navigate to a place where you want to break the animation.See Static Parameters for more informations. Just right-click on him and set "Allow animation". In the layer's parameters of the time loop, you need to remove the 'green guy' ( ), indicating that the parameter is "Static", from Duration Parameter.When the Time Loop layer is asked to set its time to "Local Time", it sets the time in its child layers to be "Link Time", ie. "Local Time" is used to line up the offset of the time looping. The "Time Loop layer" repeatedly loops through the "Duration" seconds of its child layers, from "Link Time" to "Link Time" + "Duration". This is to provide compatibility with version 0.1 of the time loop layer. If not checked, and the current time is less than "Local Time", then "Duration" is taken off the resulting time. If not checked and the Duration is zero, the Time Loop layer freezes the animation of the children layers at the value of "Link Time".If checked and "Duration" is zero or negative, then the time loop layer is effectively disabled, and acts as if it wasn't there.Number of seconds or frames that are looped in the child layer. Start time of cycled material/child layers.
The parameters of the time loop layers are: These parameters, to prevent undesired modification, by default are statics. See also the Time Loop ValueNode conversion, which can be used to loop the value of a single parameter, rather than an entire layer or group of layers. It loops a section of the layers below and within the same canvas over and over. The "Time Loop layer" is used to repeat an animation over and over.
