Animation techniques
Loops
It is possible to create infinite loops by mixing some Friction features:
1) Create a new scene and set up as desired. It will be a container of just the looped animation.
2) Add the assets and animate them
3) Then switch to the main scene, click on the canvas a select link scene choosing the scene that contains the animation you want to loop.
4) select the linked scene object, open the contextual menu (clicking the secondary mouse button) and turn on Frame remapping. It will activate a new parameter inside the linked scene called “Frame”.
5) Click on the Frame parameter with the secondary button and choose Set Expression
6) Under Bindings:
frame = $frame
7) Under Calculate
return frame%30
where “30” is just an example but it is the last frame you want to loop, that is, if your loop is within frame number 0 and frame number 30 then set that number in Calculate field.
