Offsetting A Geo Sequence From Chops

[Netvudu]

Hi there.

Just for R&D purposes I set up an animation of a Torus rotating with a sin() function and save it to disk so I can work from a file sequence (which is the whole point of it).

Now, I load this with a File SOP and I get into CHOPs with a Geometry node, but it won

You can offset the file sequence with an expression in the filename or use a Timeshift SOP.

For expression in the filename:

padded files: my_file.`padzero(4,$F+n)`.bgeo
non-padded files: my_file.`$F+n`.bgeo

For Timeshift SOP:

$F+n

If it's still not what you want, please let us know.

Cheers!
