Hi guys, I've been watching Coding Train when I can, and I ran across this method for looping Perlin noise that I feel like I might've figured out on my own eventually had I given it some thought. What a brilliant way to get repeatable loops!
In this week's After Effects tutorial, we take a look at looping elements. This was inspired by Daniel Shiffman's Coding Challenge #136.1 on his excellent YouTube channel Coding Train Coding Train. Coding Train is an excellent resource for coding visual art. A lot of the topics he covers can be repurposed in After Effects. Since he tackles algorithms frequently, it's also a good way to learn more deeply about the tools we use every day. For example, he has a few videos on Perlin noise, which underpins a lot of the plugins you probably use every day, like Fractal Noise.
