  • 1.  Loop animation

    Let's say I have to create a flashing light.

    i have an alpha flare and animation have to go like this:

    2 seconds of 100% alpha, then image fades to alpha 0% in 0.5 seconds, alpha 0% for 5 seconds, then alpha 100% for 10 seconds.

    I want to loop this animation sequence.

    The scene animation loops have only a few ping-pong like and symmetrical like animations that helps bouncing an object or something like that.

    I could not find a way (or an obviously one) to create a loopable animation secquence.

    Thank you

    So to make sure I understand, you want 2 seconds of full visibility, to dump down to zero in half a second. That invisibility lasts for five, then immediately goes back to 100%. Then loops. So now it's 12 seconds of full visibility, dumping to 0 in half a second for five seconds, then back up to full.

    You can keyframe the alpha of an object to whatever you wish of course, and then set an event marker that simply loops back to zero or where ever you would like.

    Thank you, I'll try this tomorrow.

    I'm new to Xpression and I have to make a lot of thing in a extremely short time period.

    And it has a different UI philosophy than the one I used in the past.

    Thank you
