Hi. Can anyone give me any tips on how I would go about seamlessly looping particles.
I tried using Peter Quint's method on looping flames [vimeo.com], but apparently that method doesn't work with particles.

I've attached a hipfile with my failed attempt. Any help would be greatly apprecreciated. Thx!

Hi, there! I'm trying to do the same thing and haven't had any luck yet. Have you made any progress? Thank you!

EDIT: I figured out how to do this using timeshift + timewarp nodes. Here's a link to my how-to post, with an example file.

Hey thank you for posting this emmeff. I was trying to figure out how to make my particles play in a loop, i tried the MakeLoop gaming tool, I tried the Peter Quint thing, and others. Your solution was the only one i was successful with, so thank you!
