Avocado Toast

Scheduling had us both in a bit of a rush this week so we decided to to something simple. I wanted to try expressing an idea that I’ve had about looping animations for a while now, see if it would actually work as I figured it should. Aside from rendering some low-poly food to use as assets, and what I did was set up a procedural background, and then tied that background to the position in space, of an empty object. Then I animated that object through a circular looping animation, meaning that when the animation had finished, it would have smoothly looped completely around in a non-obvious way. Worked out exactly as I’d hoped and produced these trippy animations.

And here’s the empty that I used to drive the looping background animation.

Essentially you can use the attributes of any object that travels through a loop of some kind, and then use that to drive a smooth looping effect like above. Turned out great!
