Alembic pre animation (cycle offset)

[dennisvolkerts]

Hi, I made an alembic of a coin falling were they are realy happy with the end result. 

 

just a coin going up by a initial force in dops

and then falling on the groundplane

 

but is there a way to do a cycle with offset before the animation

so there can be a fade at the beginning and so the reel animation

can start 1 sec before it is now.

 

If you know a way in maya its even beter because im using that for my render.

 

thnx alot

Hi Dennis,

If I have your question right, you can use the node timeshift.

just under the alembic node and just give it the values you wish to start at.

 

here is a simple example
