Continuous looping Feedback

Hello guys,

I am looking to achieve a continuous loop of a visual I’ve made (If you search this in youtube: TOUCHDESIGNER TUTORIAL - ORGANIC COLOR TUNNEL - its based off that). I’ve figured out how to loop noise thanks to a tutorial online, but is it possible to loop feedback so it can run continuously as a gif?

Thanks

Well a seamless loop is all about connecting the last frame to exactly where you start, and feedback is inherently taking your source and continuously adding on top of it. Basically, your goal is in conflict with reality.

To get to where you started is easy with a pulse, but that will be pretty much the same as looping backing to the start and will just result in a jarring hard cut either way.

Your best bet would be to use a switch TOP to quickly blend in the original footage before it loops. Use a timer or LFO to automate the cross dissolve and see if that helps. Even like six frames would make a huge difference.
